Default RE: 20" rim question

dude i have 17's on my 95 and i still get some rub when i take hard corners. i cannot imagine. what it would do with twentys on a 97. there really isnt much difference in the wheel well size. also there would be so much rub in those. not olny that iw will **** up your clutch your drivetrain, your speed sensors. itwill not natch what you are actually doing. you will also have some major body roll. some crazy body roll. DAAYYUUUUMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!. SORRY I WISH I COULD SHARE THIS WITH YOU GUYS ON HERE . GIRLS DONT LISTEN TO IT. OK. BUT THIS FINE *** CHICK just rolled by in the hall. I mean FLY. with a huge font capital F. omg. a

Sure, 20's will fit if you use rubber bands for tires. Not a good idea.

they will fit and you shouldnt rub as long as you size your tires right. the overall diameter needs to stay the same as stock. Basically your rim is getting taller and your tires sidewall is getting shorter.

A good pothole will have you on a donut pretty quick, the ride will be very harsh, and your traction in the corners will go down hill. It looks good but IMO there are too many negatives.

I still think anything bigger than a 16 on a civic is un-called for

No, 20s on a Civic means rim condoms for tires.

The biggest pwoblem is that you are going to have a vewy vewy small steewing lock.

the first thing is how wide are they 20x what. if it is 8 or higher u will rub bad. u will rub when u attempt to make sharp turns and it will raise the car big time
