Default Any F's running 21" wheels

I've been looking at the new DPE CSR10's and on this GTR, they are sized in 22".


Just wondering if anyone has some nice wheels they're sporting in 21", since it seems sometimes 20's are still not big enough for our cars.

there is a big difference between a GTR and an ISF - keep in mind the STOCK size rolling diameter for an ISF is only 26" - on a GTR it's 28+ - the GTR can get away with a 21" wheel with 30 or 35 series tires, for us we'd have to have 20/25 series tires.

I did some searching, and could find no tires for 21" wheels with an OD of less than 27". IMHO, any wheel larger than 19" is pure folly in a street driven ISF, but that's just me. As well as meeting the OD criteria, you'd need to meet the weight carrying capacity. Can't be done.

^^^Yeah you would be shredding tires or the sidewalls would collapse very soon running 21"s on an ISF

You would need to go with a very thin sidewall, probably 25 or less, and this is risky depending on what kind of roads you drive on...which means you would go through tires verrry quickly. It's a valid question, but IMO 20's look fine.

I've seen as big as 20s, but not 21s. The GTR in the OP looks pretty sick with 22s. I honestly like the 19s look on the F.

20"s were fine for me, but I would not go any larger.
