Question 20's on a Sedan?

Has anyone installed 20's on a sedan? If so, do you have flush mount or a lip? What offset? I'm worried about the rear fenders rubbing with adults in the back seat. The look would be great, but not at the expense of rolling the inside fender lip. Thanks for informed response.

That was nice, Canuck

Hey skeleton--cut the guy some slack--it is his first post. If all we did was surf the search feature--there would be no need for this online forum. Lets examine that--hmm, an online forum, in other words--an online meeting place for open discussion. He did that. Its all good.


Don't we want to be nice to our new members?

Ideally if you drive around a lot with adults in the back, you should consider a wheel that yields +40 offset if you don't want to cut or roll the inner fenders.

I hope I helped.

20x8.5 front +38
20x9.5 rear +45

mine is lowered on to the tire. Didn't rub, but I cut the rear fender anyway just a touch for my sanity . . .ALOT depends on the tire you select. I had the same offset in a 19" wheel as other forum members, but I used a round tire instead of a straight sidewalled tire - and I had no problems, they rubbed. I am currently running a Falken ST-115 - a round sidewalled tire, very comfortable

Hkjsjza what rims are those? And how much was it to have your door handles painted? Car looks nice.

Nice looking ride hksjza70.

You mentioned that you cut the rear fender anyway, just to be safe... so what are your offsets? Thanks.

Very clean ride.

Hey Chico did your "G" slow down considerably with the bigger rims/tires on there?

I want to upgrade but i don't want to sacrafice too much of the performance in my 5AT sedan.

I wish I could find someone around here to charge that. I havent done it yet because I am looking at $600 to get that and the window trim done. I also want the front grill and badges removed. But the $600 figure is tough for me justify doing it. Your car looks awesome. Hopefully I will transcend to your level in the near future.
