Just beware that apparently that's a show car that never gets driven, and it's got a widebody, so the "fittment" information is totally useless for someone with a stock body that actually wants to drive the car.

Personally I think that 17's looke right on the car, and anything bigger starts to look goofy.

you guys are soo closed minded!!!!!!!!

For real..the first fc car above, that was for Sema for my understanding so the wheels where fitted, He doesnt drive with those.

I dont know about that oakland car, but Dunk style is becoming popular..

Thinking that wheels fitments that can't actually be DRIVEN on are lame doesn't make me closed-minded.

I will be embarrassed for the owners of those because there is no earthly way they can be embarrassed enough for themselves and what they have done to their RX7's.

The thread is about wether 20" wheels will "fit". I'd say, the definition of fit should be greater than wether or not they'll bolt up to the hub. If the car isn't drivable once they're on there, the DON'T FIT.

They may not work tucked like that, but I'm sure you could raise it just a little and be able to drive on most roads just fine.

When I used to live in the suburbs there were tons of accountants and business people with families driving SUVs on dubs.
