car is lowered with eibachs and i just bought a set of 20x8.5 with 35 offset wheels. just wondering if anyone is running 20s with lowering springs what size tire to buy so they dont rub. tire rack is were i bought the wheels and they are saying to run 245/30/20s any help would be appreciated thanks

i got 245/35 series no problems with a 42mm offset. 35's fill the wheel well better and a tad more cushion. but with a 35mm offset you may have to roll the fenders.

got mine on 20" x 245 with 42mm offset with the Eibach set. No rub

THAT'S ONE BEAUTIFUL CTS

I'm speechless, that's a nice looking CTS. How's it ride with 20's and springs?

Are those the Irmsher rims?

wow, really nice cts

got mine on 20" x 245 with 42mm offset with the Eibach set. No rub

Eldo, what do you do to your pictures? They have a slightly different look to them, almost plasticky...


Have any photos of the body kit that Irschmercherschmer use to make? I found a thread on here that mentioned it, but the pictures no longer worked...

Thanks all!

Yes, those are the 20" Irmscher Evo Star (available in the US at the Saturn dealer since 2007?)
The ride with the Eibachs springs, Anti-roll bars and CTS-sport tower brace in combination with the 20" is still comfortable. Of course a lot stiffer than stock, but not harsh! My girl is still happy... I guess the seats make up for a lot too. The brace and anti-roll bars make cornering very sharp.

Here's a link to the Irmscher-pdf for the wheels and body kit. I really like the body kit, but it is way too expensive. The front skirt alone is €1400, which makes $2100. And you have to drive over to them to have it installed.

The effect in the pictures is called HDR (High Dynamic Range). You combine multiple exposures with different aperature, so you combine the details of the dark and light areas to create more depth. You can exagerate of course to make it more surreal. But it is a cool technique.

I havent seen this before, but the concept makes sense and I cant wait to try it! Assuming its easy to do with CS3?

I am happy to have made you so happy in 5 or 6 minutes :)

CS2 and CS3 do have an HDR package included. But I use a seperate tool for the HDR rendering first, before I use CS3 on the pictures.
