New 20" wheels in Black

I needed something more than my stockers... they just were not what the X needed.

I went the Staggered route with 20 x 8.5" and 20 x 9.5" for the rear. Figuring its just a 3.0L, I didn't want the extra drag of the 315's so I went with a 285 size on the rear.

You know I like these! I think you were right in getting these for the 3 Liter. I like the White/Black contrast. Then next thing to do would be to tint the front windows 35% and then paint the side mirrors black... That would be off the hook!

I just drove 3000 miles in the past 10 days, with a lot of it being Louisiana torrential rain on shitty roads... not one issue. What pressure were you running them at? I am using 44 psi and have had no problems even when icy as it was where the pic was taken.

Nice add with the blackout... looks almost government. LOL!
