Every bump and pothole is scary.
OMG! I'm going to be running this same setup except on 20x9.5 front and 20x10.5 rears.

I hope the ride isn't too harsh and bumps too bad.

20x9.5 +6 20x10.5 -12 225/35 255/35. Some camber, rolled fenders in the front and front bumper tabs re-done. No rubbing at all. Chicago roads suck but had these wheels for over a year now and no bends.. I think the step lip helps the strength because I've hit some potholes that made my butthole pucker and they've been fine.

By properly set up, I mean ride height & camber. 20x12's dont fit the stock height, theyll stick out. (At least with my offset) I dropped mine and currently run -4.8 camber. This is on KWV3 coilovers and SPC camber & control arms.

The ride is stiff as hell, but when it bumps, the wheels tuck into the fenders. On a full tank, I can barely fit 3 pennies between the rears and the quarterpanels.

You're not gonna f'up your fender since you'd most likely hit the inner plastics which are somewhat durable and replaceable. If you did happen to sustain a little dent on the lip on your wheel it is typically repairable without any noticeable effect for around $100 - $150.

I think most people who put 20s on their cars are also lowered and so are much more likely to run in to trouble than you would be. Just be cautious as to where you drive.

That looks sick! Ordered the same exact rims except in bronze lip with black face. Offset is not as aggressive though.

The Work barrels are also forged so they are stronger than your standard wheel. Hopefully I will have the same luck with mine.

Liquid_G your set up is sick...your on coilovers right? Why did you have the front tabs redone? Can't we just go without them? I'm still trying to decide if I want to take the jump to 20s or go as aggressive I can with 19s. The step lip is so enticing...
