    i am thinking about buying XD775 (Rockstars) 20x8.5 wheels with Nitto NT 555 Extreme ZR low profile tires (235/35R20). i can get a set of 4 rims and tires +instal kit for $2,400. Has anyone ran these wheels and how do they look? i have searched on Google for a GP with them but haven't found any. Do you all think they will fit and ride correctly? the website says they are a direct fit so i think they will not be a problem. This is going to be the start to a build i'm hoping to begin in February or March.

    2400 is half the value of the car.

    Price things out and I bet you can find stuff cheaper or just pick a different rim/tire combo. Beware of rubbing and dented rims with such low profile tire. You will also want to know offsets because just because they say they fit the bolt pattern doesnt mean it will fit the car without hitting everything.
