There is a black vert here on the forum who has 22's on the rear and 20's on the front. His screen name is 209 Time!!!. The look pretty good imo..

I'm sure that if you call XZbit from "Pimp My Ride", they can hook you up with some shiny 22's (with spinners) and put half a dozen 1-inch lcd screens in each wheel.........now that's dope!!! I have seen them stick 22's on Ford Escorts.........

Seriously, I don't think it would look good at all. Performance and ride quality would be disastrous.

I've never seen it. I wouldn't do it myself. But I do have to give credit to those who actually put the biiggest wheels possible on their car. Regardless of if it looks proportional or performs badly, It's cool

Doesn't look as bad as I thought it would........Still wouldn't do it though......At least they look like quality wheels, it's less about the size, and more about the style.....

I've got a 19/20 combo, i think if they made a 21/20" setup it would look pretty sick...
I'll stick with the 20"s for now though because they make a drag radial in that size

I truly believe it's your car to do as you please and you need only to decide if YOU like them..........

However, in this case I need to be a hypocrite, please don't do it.......
