Hi guys, new here and been lurking around the forums and doing some reasearch for my next purchase.
i'll be getting a charger SXT in a few months and would love to put on some 20" Nitrous gray's (prolly the ones offered by avon assuming they do international orders). but the problem is that i dont want to touch the suspension coz off all the bad roads and not to mention the 6-8 speed humps that i have to go over everyday in order to reach my drive way.
has anybody done this i.e putting 20"s without lowering? did it look really bad (raised truck look) or did it settle nicely? (pics would be great even if its the magnum coz i beleive they are at the same height, i tried searching but only came up with cars which were lowered)
thanks. :)

WeLXome Tyrant! You mentioned international shipping....where are you from?
Here are the before and after pics of my car with no lowering and the staggered Foose Nitrous from Avon Custom Wheels.http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f87/JonzMgnm/Mag4.jpghttp://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f87/JonzMgnm/MAY06024.jpg

"HLY CRP", "JonzMgnm" thanks for the welcoming and replies.
Those pics are really all what i needed :), and i see that it really doesnt give the car a raised look.
btw the cars look sweet i especially love the color matched nitrous rims :).
John, i live on a small island called Bahrain which is quite a distance away from the states. (hahaha i hope i dont get screwed with 1600$ worth of shipping charges :p). Also just wondering do you have any larger side view pictures?
thanks again guys, you've been of great help :).

I think that shipping to the middle east might be pretty high. Isn't your home Island about 200 miles south of Kuwait?
That might explain the bad roads :) You should be fine running 20's though. I wouldn't consider 22's however. Not much rubber between the rim and tire. Atleast you won't have to ship oil in. :)

yeah were quite close to kuwait, highways are ok its just that the inner roads are a pain, thats why i have no plans for lowering or stiffining up the suspension.
also i found a local store that wants to charge 4000$ for the rims with tires still considering this as i dont have to deal with shipping and customs. you know as the expenses add up the more i start thinking that it would be best to just get the R/T hehehe :p.
Frend thanks for the pics :), thats the perfect angle.

Hey Jonz what did you pay to have those rims color matched, just curious?
