false. 20 is too big, would never buy that big, too much weight and your tires are going to cost more also.

Let's just settle this now.

20's if you wanna show your car off and not worry about your time at the track.

18's or smaller if performance is your main priority with your car and your going to care about your track time.

Just to save this thread from the same old debate. hahaha
I again, have 20s on my car, and I love it. Others on here hate the guys like me. haha

agreed depends which kind of guy you are, just if you go black instead of chrome you must go 20's b/c black tends to make the rim look smaller

They look great! I would go 18's or 19's. 20's are right on the verge of being to big, but thats my opinion. What ever size you discide just lower the car down to fit over the rims. 20's look good when they fit under the car.

If price is a factor 18's just cause tire will be less you can find clean used 20's all day on cl cause people get the package deal for like 1100 with tires then find out later to replace the tires its like 300 a piece for decent tires

Either way though they will look pretty clean

Its all personal opinion
