I'm really thinking of ditching my 18's in favor of some 20's. My question is what's the lowest offset i can get away with, with a hotchkis drop?? I might be getting some 20's for free, and if i do, i want them to fit with the drop, i test fit them at work and stock it looked good, but the offset isn't stamped on the wheels.. From what it looked like, i don't have much room to work with. The tires are 225-35-20 instead of 225-30-20 which is better suited IMO.. I really don't want it to come down to either the drop or the 20's.. I want both damnit!!!!

What type of wheels are they, and how wide? With that info I should be able to find out the offset.

On a Hotchkis drop, you should really have the 225/30-20 tires to make sure no rubbing.

I believe they are u35s by U2, 20x8.5. I could just call them up and find out.. but that would be the easy thing to do. I figured i would need the 225-30-20 with the drop. If i do get the wheels, thank god i work at discount tire...

U2-35's... that's a lot of chrome, and those are going to be some heavy wheels. 20x8.5's are available in either +38 or +13 offset, so I'm sure the ones you tried are +38. Worst case scenario with a Hotchkis drop is a little fender rolling, but you definitely want the 225/30 tires with the +38 offset.

Thanks for the info! They are indeed VERY heavy wheels. But for the price, what the hell right??

You'll keep paying at the gas pump every time you fill up, due to the lower gas mileage, and when you have to replace your brake pads more frequently. As the saying goes, "you got to pay to play." More power to ya!
