just order in a 20x10 35mm offset doesn't give me fits with center caps.....ughhhhhh
You might need a 3mm spacer if the caps are fighting you. the hub's lip is 9mm tall. and if MRR recessed the cap mount too far, you'll hit that lip before the tangs can find purchase. You might be able to tap them in with a soft-blow hammer or deal with the caps before you mount to the hub. Some persuasion with a screw driver may work. You'd hope MRR would have designed around the protrusions, but maybe they recycled S197 dimensions and didn't check the S550 hubs.

Are those that are having trouble with installing center caps putting them on after the wheel is mounted? If so put the center cap on first. Then mount the wheel.

according to darren it should not be a problem with this wheel, but nonetheless will see, probably won't be till feb or so before i have tires anyway.

looks damn good..:thumbsup: exact same specs as what i ordered other than in a 20" wheel. and did that strictly because of the tire selection, sat on this computer better part of half my day looking for 19's as far as tires go and noticed without a drop how much sidewall and overall diameter i was loosing so i wanted to be able to keep that close.

Running a 20x10 front wheel, and 20x11 rear with 275 front, and 305 rear tires. Zero rubbing, steering, or turning issues. Even at full lock.

i'm running a similar wheel setup with 285/35/20 on the front and 305/35/20 on the rear. no rubbing or mechanical steering/turning issues. it took me a few weeks, tho, to get accustomed to a different, tighter turning radius.

Thanks man! Lowered with Eibachs. Firehawk Indy 500s, 275/35 305/35
just got my20x10 and 20x11's in friday. trying to determine which tire to go with. probably going with same tire setup as yours or maybe a 285 in the front. have not made a final decision yet. how's the firehawks compared to stock? i have the stock mp4s still on mine. only owned it 7months now.
