That doesn't look nearly as bad as I expected it to.

I wonder if the 3" change in wheel diameter causes any speedo/odo errors?

20" is a bit much...18" would be plenty

Same here. I thought it was going to look like the old Stompter toys from my childhood. This actually looks alright. Another 1/2" lower and it might be perfect. Are you sure these are 20 rims? Maybe they are really 19" rims.

My thoughts exactly. When I saw the title of the thread, my 1st thought was oh, jeez...

Still a little too big for the car. Sometimes less is more and bigger isn't always better.

Even if not as bad as expected, still pretty dumb. Must ruin the car's handling.

Yeah, not as bad as I thought it would look, but I won't say it's good looking either, it's kinda like a short woman wearing oversized earrings ......
