Default 20" rims...hows the fit?

I got a nice little crack head that wants to sell some 20" spinners for 600 dollars with tires. Normally I wouldnt buy such a big rim, but thats what he has. Ive searched but couldnt really find what kind of a ride it gives you. How about the fitment, would it actually fit with no rubbing? Please let me know asap, he will be coming back later tonight.

please telll me you are not seriously considering spinners on a SC. This has got to be a joke. Besides, without the width or offset of these wheels, how can we tell you how a wheel fits?

Like I said, normally I wouldnt go for these kind of wheels, but hey....$600...just like he said... I cant really lose. Ill get the exact info on them when he brings them back. From the looks of them I think they were about 9" wide. Whats the widest wheels that would fit on this car?

Come on samerooo... it's obvious! You're a noob! Don't do it! I use to be where you were. Read up on previous posts and you'll see that just because they're $600 doesn't make this a good buy.

You can do a LOT with $600. For example, make you're SC ride better... check out the link.

Not asking for your advice, just trying to see if they fit and how the ride is. Please keep other comments to yourself.

It will be the bomb!! Do it do it do it do it!!!!! Then post pics!! Please do it!!

Seriously, it will look, ride, and fit like pure C-R-A-P. But hey, if that's what you want then go for it...I'm sure you're smart enough not to post pics here and ask what people think if you do choose to go that route.

I can see it now..."Spinners from a crackhead are now on my lexus!"...wow...

wow.

You're gonna havta alter your car to get 20x9's to sit right in the front.

Never pass up a good deal, but If you dont really care for the rims anyway, sell em and get sumthin you're 'into'.

unless you think its worth the extra effort to get them to sit nice.

No, I dont think thats it worth modifying the car to get these large rims to fit. I might buy them to sell or trade to someone. I think the largest size rim I would want would be some 19s in the back and 18 in the front.

20"s will not fit on SC. You'll damage the bearing, axle, suspension, wheel well and your chassis will get damaged overtime because of the weight distribution of the wheels.

However, getting 19"s or 18"s will fit with no problem whatsoever
