Anyone have 20 inch rims?

Z11 · 07-11-2012, 07:53 PM

does anyone have 20 inch wheels on? and what tire size?

here are some pics of a car with 20 inch rims and low pro tires i believe, i want 20's with similar tires, but look at how close the tires are to the fenders all around.. one TINY bump and there goes all four fenders... thats what im worried about.

here are pics.

Properly set up they won't rub, but yeah they bend pretty easy.

I believe the term is "twankies" or "deuce deuce" the later implying 22" rims

I never heard of twankies before LOL

I always thought it was:

dubs = 20s
double dubs =22s

By properly set up, I mean ride height & camber. 20x12's dont fit the stock height, theyll stick out. (At least with my offset) I dropped mine and currently run -4.8 camber. This is on KWV3 coilovers and SPC camber & control arms.

The ride is stiff as hell, but when it bumps, the wheels tuck into the fenders. On a full tank, I can barely fit 3 pennies between the rears and the quarterpanels.

Holy moly! How much of the rear tire is touching the floor?

About 50-80% depending on how full or empty my tank is

But this thing bites corners like a t-Rex bites its prey

i had 245/35/20 front, 275/30/20 rear on my 2003 350z, so im thinking of doing something similar, but for sure 20's. and i had no problems. but seeing some peoples pics like djsquall and the yellow one posted, its pretty damn close to the fender, and dont want to Fup all four fenders..

so you guys are saying hitting bumps and holes will F it up? damn man.. scary, sometimes you just dont see the potholes coming..
