i will be putting 19's on my coupe, when i get my car in june, but i was also curious to see 20's on it also. i wonder how much gap i'll have left with 19's and H&R springs?

What aspect ratio could the 20's possibly be?

225/30-20 (9mm taller than stock overall)
235/30-20 (15mm taller than stock overall)

Good luck finding tires in those sizes though.

A 20" rim would probably only come in really wide sizes, so you'd have to go with an even wider tire and an even more ridiculous aspect ratio.

Plus the car would:

Handle like *****
Brake like *****
Accelerate like *****
and look god awfully ridiculous while doing it.

But you have discounted the Bling-Bling factor

don't forget the other factor....
that your wheels and tires will cost to close to 1/3 of your car's value. now that's funny.

Let's not forget the additional delight that will be enjoyed once that first pothole is encountered. Ouch!

I had 20'' chrome Adr's on my coupe.....worst idea ever

Car seems much slower
BARELY fits the fenders as a matter of fact im sure theres damage to the fenders(never checked)
Braking is much worse
Suspension worsened im sure
