Just had some Enkei LS-R 20" wheels and Falken FK452 20" tires installed. I went with 245/35/ZR-20's. I also just painted the calipers black today. Some other things I have done are tint (15%), added a 3.6 emblem from a CTS, added a cover for the plate, removed the front plate and plugged the holes and I removed the GM emblems from the sides. Next up is a spoiler....sorry for the crappy pics the sun was setting.

Very nice. I like my original 18" on my LTZ. Where did you get the 3.6 emblem? I like it. :)

Did you fix the speedometer or leave it be?

From Ebay. It is off a new Caddy CTS. I liked the OEM wheels too, just wanted something different and I wanted performance tires.

Nothing to correct. Difference was only a TENTH of an inch in diameter....

It looks very nice.:)

Oh, that's right. The rims changed diameter, not the tire. Thanks.

No problem.;)

Those rims look sweet on the bu'! I like the painted calipers too!

What makes me laugh is that you did the exact same thing as me..... I hate copycats!

Yup, that's what I did, I copied you.:rolleyes:

Sorry to break it to you, but there aren't that many 20" 5x110 wheels, so you might see "your" wheels on more then just your car....

If you plan on getting all pissy like a child you should have had custom wheels made. Enkei sells thousands of those wheels a year....

Guess it was too hard to say, "hey nice choice I have the same wheels"?

I am just not talking about the wheels and btw there is alot of different 20" 5x110 for the car you just havent done your homework but.... Painted calipers black..... stuff like that... but you know, do what you gotta do man..... while your at it, go for gold, do a custom trunk install, black out your emblems and lower it and we can be identical except for colors.....

Sorry buddy, but there are NOT alot of 20" wheels for our cars. I did my research and had Discount Tire Direct help me out too. There is maybe 5 nice ones, unless you like ghetto wheels. I have painted my calipers on almost all of my cars black as well. And I plan on lowering it too. If you think your the only one who does what you did to your car your out of your mind. And the fact you get defensive about a car I haven't even seen is a joke. Get a life man....

Silverltz, you damn copycat!.... haha nice ride man. i do have a question. is your exhaust factory?

Silverltz, you damn copycat!.... haha nice ride man. i do have a question. is your exhaust factory?

Haha, yeah we're all copycats! We all bought Malibus....

To answer your question, yes it is factory. I just polished the tips with a polishing compound and wheel.

C'mon Silver, didn't the wheel place tell you that when you buy a set of rims, no one else is allowed to have the same ones???:p

Don't pay attention to that guy, or kid I should say. Nah nah nah nah nah..you are a copycat..nah nah nah nah nah. I thought he was going to call you a poopy pants next.:D

Ha, yeah I know. Anyone who is a car guy and says what he said is nuts.

I mean I got my windows tinted, so anyone who gets there's done is a copycat!

So stupid....

Just for the record my windows were tinted before I joined this forum...:-D

Ha, your still a copycat in someones eyes....;)

Im a copycat-to be, because i agree aside from those wheels everything else is prettymuch bling-ish, orrrrr if you are too concerned with me having the same wheels as you both guys you could help me penny-up to buy a blank set of wheels or custom made wheels. and a color change because my car just happens to be white, damn youuu GM!! why build so many cars with the same color!!! i payed $10,000,000 to have it unique white painted but seems i have been scammed. maybe i should do some "speed-holes" like the one homer did to flanders car to set mine appart, shame on you if you have speed-holes done.

bump from the past
you drop it yet on the 20's?
any new pics

20's are actually sold. The Malibu is now the wife's car since I wanted something a little more fun and tunable, the Speed3.


But if I kept it I was gonna do Eibach springs. I have them on my Camaro and IMO they are the best.

i got a good question i have the malibu ltz as well in silver 3.6 vvt but i got no sunroof with it. its theonly one ive seen like that. why or how did this end up like that, do they even make the ltz with out a sunroof?

It was a $900 option, but most had it. IMO it is one of the best features the car offers.

My opinion as well... Love it in my wifes '08 Tahoe. Had to have one in the 'Bu! :)

when you had the 20's on there
did you have any rubbing issues?
what was the offset on them?,,and width?
i just got the 20 X 8.5 and the tires on them were 225 35 20,,so you know they are kinda stretched,,but what can i do,,i got it all for a great price
i wanna upgrade to 245 35 20

the rims i have are a 38 mm offset so i just wanna see what others are getting or have and go from there about the tiresize

thanks mike

Not one rubbing issue as the backspacing was spot on.
If I recall, the offset was 42 and the width 8.5". 38 might sit a little far inside the fenders....

also what kinda psi were you running?

32 psi cold.

thanks i posted some pics of the 20's i got used for her car
im hoping the 245 will fit,,i dont think ill run into issues looks as tho i have enough room

Hey man, the wheels are holding up good, lots of compliments, thanks, I may put up some pictures soon.
