Front Wheels look bigger than back

That's why you need the offsets. When you lower, the top of the wheels will tuck in more, so you might need larger spacers vs non-lowered. Read the spacer 101 sticky.

Why did you go with 20" 8.5 front (245/35/20) and 20" 10 back (275/30/20)? Be honest with you, I would have went 20x9.5 (265/35) & 20x11 (315/30). I wouldn't go any smaller than 305 in the rear. You want the tires to look nasty and aggressive looking, but still sexy looking as well. Given your 20x10 size I would recommend going to 295/30 at least if not 305/30.

My magic eight ball says otherwise.

That wheel is only available in 8.5 and 10.

It's hard to tell what you mean from the picture but if by smaller you mean more sunken in then you can get wheel spacers to push them out a bit. Common ones are H&R and Z1 Motorsports.

Thank you Zack, much appreciated, I’m referring to the size as in the radius of the wheel, I’m really disappointed on the look. check this other picture

Yes, they're sunken in. Get spacers

Different problem, but ya they will look better with spacers.

What are the offsets on your rims right now? I can figure out the size spacers you need to make the depth look even. Will not help you with the diameter of course.

i'm not too sure about the offset Cooltoy, but as you say, it wont make a difference, it will still look smaller than the front, i will go to the shop tomorrow since the guy who sold them to me is off today, i really hope they can change the tires... this is stressful!!!

It is smaller, what you are referring to is offset.
The front push the wheel farther out and become more flush where the rear are sunk in more. Looks like you could put on a spacer in the rear to balance it out.

Never mind you're using an 8.5 wheel up front instead of the 9.5 thats originally used :|
