asked a fella from work and he said ok.. but wanted to make sure ay....

Did you buy them new or secondhand? You need to know the offset & tyre size to get a definitive answer off here or just try it out yourself :3some:

So they were secondhand then??

Try find out the offset if possible cause you wont be able to tell by just putting the rim on with no tyre. The tyre is what will fowl on the control arm.

You need +35 offset for 20's if I'm not mistaken?

might even be buying his airbags off him... have not seen a xr6t on airbags before

The offset should be printed on the back of the rims so just check that out when you get home. If it's +35, you'll have no drama's, if it's any different you mite be able to get away with spacers but they're highly illegal & usually cause steering shudder above 100km/hr :spoton:

Airbags would be sweet but unsure on how low the BA could cope with before something started rubbing/fowling?? I seen a VY Berlina at Tech 9 that had been bagged all round & it looked sweet until you stuck your head under the guards. It'd been hacked to within an inch of it's life under there to fit the big arse wheels in when the bags were depressed!

Is your's a ute or sedan??
