probably not since the wheel wheel is so huge, but you don't wanna go past 18's without running into any problems. 20s are too much for an eclipse.

^^^^^^^^^
I'd roll in that.:cool:

Just go with 18s or 19s. Most likely with 20s you won't even be able to turn. :banghead:

I work for Les Schwab Tires (huge wheel and tire dealer in the northwest) and its my oppinion that 20's would just give you a headache. 19's are great for show, and you can only get a good hi-performance tire in an 18. I run 225/45/18 Toyo RA1's (Toyo's street legal racing compound tire) on my car in the summer, and same size Toyo T1S's (Toyo's badass wet weather tire) in the rainy season. When choosing a wheel find something light, and the right width and offset for your car. My 18x8's w/ a 40mm offset used to rub (before I rolled my fenders) But then again I've dropped it 1.75" in front and 1.5" in the rear with the Tein Flex coilovers. It was 2.25" and 2.0", but I road race and needed a little more ground clearance. That and I was rubbing on the inner fender. If you run the 225/40/18's you can run a 7 1/2" wheel, and theyre easier to find, but 8" is optimum width. Email me at thescamp@crosswinds.net if you need any advice on wheels, tires or suspension.
