Default who's slammed on 20's with coilovers not bags

im thinking about buying some deep dish 20's but want to know what the clearance would be on the sc and if i would have to do any fender modifications. not sure what if size 20's i want yet i just know i want a nasty (big) lip on it. i see people putting 19's all the time on the sc but i just want to take it up a notch. just want to see some pics of sc wheel and tire combinations with 20's

That all depends on the widths and offsets of the wheels....

If you want to really slam it it will be rubbing against the plastic fender trim on the front wheels and you definitely want to relocate the wiring harness on the front driver side wheel well.

That all depends on wheel with, offset, tire size, and suspension ride height. Every combination changes what's required, but you'll need to know all of the wheel and tire specs BEFORE anyone can answer your question.

Define "nasty (big)"? If it's under 4" that's normal. Nasty would be like, 6" or so - but that means fender mods, suspension tweaking, and a slot of rubbing anyways.

If you're set on 20's make sure you budget in a body kit and a paint job with it; 19's look big on a stock body SC (especially pre-97) unless you pull it of right, and 20's just look Dub City High Roller on a stock body.

Im pretty lowered as much as i can with minimal space from tire to touching frame. I think i can get a bit lower but i need to order my kit and see how low it would be. My front lip already scrapes at some places.

Also depends on the disc face. High Disc with the right offset will give the illusion of nasty lips. You wanna be legit...go with low offsets n make the car fit the wheels. You wanna cheat it im sure xxr makes a wheel you can give the illusion.

Ok that's what I wanted to see and it looks like 20's might be a little bit to big for me. Well atleast in the front.

I see in your avatar that you have a 95-96, your car on 20"s might look a little like this



Personally I'd save the 20"s for a luxury sedan, but like others said, body kit or even 97+ 20"s can look good

Im running 275 in the rear and 245 in the front... I can sit the front a bit lower but im going to be running a kit so im going to wait. My front lip already has touched the floor on speed bumps and such. Actually looks better in person. Im going a little tighter on the fitment tho. About 10mm more on front and 10mm on the rear. Sofar no tire wear from rubbing or damage.
