21" step lip - your thoughts

I am currently getting my fenders flared and I am debating on whether to go with 20 or 21" step lip rims. I currently have 20" step lip rims and to me it looks alittle small. I would like to get your thoughts on this. Regardless, the width of the wheels will be 9.5 and 10.5.

i think 20s are already the limit...19s a bit too small, 20s abit too big

a stagger 20 front and 21 rear would be sick depending on how your car looks

ur current setup looks nice. Nothing wrong with 21", just expect your car to feel a bit slower

I wouldn't go any larger than the 20's if it were me. I think it looks good. Drop it another 1/2" and it'd look great.

what tire sizes are you running?

I think if you see less tire (with a more aggressive drop or bigger widths or both) then it will look a lot bigger.

But honestly, i think it looks great now.
