Yes they will fit but please do not do it. It has been done before and does not fit the car at all. Your car looks sick in your sig and you should keep the 20's on it. Please don't go 22 lol

Thanks,
Elliott

Unless it is purely for show then I would say it is a bad idea.

Your car looks bagged and the 20's look good. 22's would make it look like a 4x4.

thanks for the compliment on my car, just that i get so many people say, "those are 20's?? they look like 17's! hahaha"

i'm pretty sure a good percentage of you 20" riders get the same reply from some people.

your car looks very nice in that sig. Maybe get some chrome or silver finish rims....that might make them look bigger than what you have now. I think the black rims make them look smaller than they really are. btw: what part of texas you located?

I remember reading somewhere that 21's fit without modification. Cant remember where though. I think the 17's comment might only be because they are black wheels.
