In for more pics. Are you lowered, or did you just do spacers?

need more angle shots and better overall picture for comparison, only the last photo show little more but not good enough
you could have just back your car in the sun right there and taken better photos, unless you regret getting it and embarrassed to show it off

Did you have to get extended wheel studs? 20mm seems like you wouldn't have any thread left. When I changed my stock lugs I remember looking and thinking there was no way I'd put more than a 5 or 7 mm spacer

Hey man, have you done any spirited driving with this current set up (pro kit + 20mm x4)? Taken any harder turns, perhaps slid a little? How much better does it handle, etc?

You would have to run either extended studs, or bolt on spacers. I don't think you could even get the lug nut to catch a thread with the stock studs and a 20mm spacer.
