[QUOTE="DropTop13, post: 16478773, member: 199222"] Thanks Steve. I spoke to Variant directly about both their Argon and Krypton wheel. I came to the same conclusion as you about the rears and was going to go with 305s. The problem is with the fronts. I was going to have to go with about a +25-28 offset to clear the stock hub dust cap due to the design of the wheel. With that offset I was afraid anything but a pretty skinny tire was going to stick out too far. I ended up ordering the Velgen VF5 Kit from LMR. It's a very similar wheel to the Variant Krypton but the 20x11 rear is a +55 and the 20x10 front are +33 - still not as much offset as I wanted on the front but the LMR kit has 275s instead of the 285s I was planning on fitting so it should be fine. I really liked the Krypton Black Chrome finish though. The Velgen are gloss black. I'll post some pics once they are mounted. Oh and I am sourcing a panhard bar. My axle is pretty well centered now, barely off to one side. The tires should fit fine without it but it would certainly look better with them centered and I'm planning on going lower eventually.
