Re: 20 inch rims

Don't see why not, but it is a TERRIBLE idea, there will be no sidewall so you stand an extremely good chance of damaging your rims on potholes, your tires will be very wide and will most likely rub on sharp turns (245/35/20 vs stock 195/60/15) not to mention the weight will kill your steering feel and will stand a good chance of damaging your wheel bearings, it will also raise your ride height, and wreck your handling.

Re: 20 inch rims

Scrap the 20's and just go for a set of 22's. Who needs tires?

just ride on the rims.

What is the obsession with big rims anyway?

My focus had 16's with a 50 profile tire and it rode like crap. Felt every crack in the road.

I'm happy to say that i now drive a buick with 205/70/15 tires and its like riding on a cloud.

On that note.....i'm going to drink a one liter size can of beer opcorn:
