Question 20's all around?

Hey guys, I have a black 05' limited i'm wanting to put new rims on. I found a guy that has some 20" front and back (black/chrome Falken Koblenz)They have some nito low profiles. He wants to trade even for my stocks. He's a frequent driver and goes through tires like crazy, which i'm not worried about. They look great on his 04' coupe.
Assuming his wheels are in good shape would this be good deal on my end? Would there be any issues with having 20's all round as opposed to offset? The link shows the rims he has.
Thanks!

I had 20s all the way around on my last crossfire, until I had a blowout going around a gradual corner and since the profile was so low, they lost ability to steer the car almost instantly putting me into the wet grass, further exacerbating the situation, here is the result:



I would never do 20s all the way around again, the new car has 18/20 stagger and looks GREAT...

Gradual corner ? I thought that happened at the Dragon a couple of years ago.
You've had TWO wrecks ?

While we were vacationing at the Dragon, we (itsly, franc, and I) were out for a Sunday morning sight seeing cruise miles from US129. We had been hitting it hard, but at that point we were taking it easy, I was doing about 40-45 in a 40MPH zone around the corner when it happened. Check out my gallery or the thread for a better description.

Only 1 gone under my watch

Does anyone know anything about those specific rims? Reputable company?

I've never heard of Koblenz, but Falken is reputable. The price point puts them at the lower-to-mid end of the middle class; so certainly better than a $100 wheel, but not as good as a $1000 wheel.

Just realize that your car will be noticeably slower with the 20s and the ride will be rougher.

I don't think 20s look right all the way around. The front wheel well is smaller than the back which make the rims in the front look bigger. I went 19" 20". Looks good
