hey, i really wanna get 20" rims but exactly what will i have to do to mod the car so it rides right (not to high ,without rubbing , gears and speedometer work right, ext)and are your tires really small like that if u hit something they would pop or not protect the rims and ruin them ? please give me as much info as possible greatly appreciated thanx

You do not need 20" wheels...

1. They would be too heavy to handle properly
2. There is no tire profile size small enough to keep the gearing the same... Even if there was, the tire weight load limit would be so small that you would be overloading it constantly... so it would likely be unsafe... and it would ride very poorly....
3. They would be too expensive as well....


Keep it at 17" or less...

If you want to keep performance then yeah, listen to chris j vurnis, if you are just going for looks then go for it. There are drawbacks to 20's as he has said,. Your speedo will be off because the rim/tire with 20's is bigger than the stock overall diameter. the sidewall is actually wider than whne I had my 225/40/18's. Right now with the 20's the sidewall is thicker because of the 255/35/20's. If you are going all show then get 20's, if not get smaller rims.
