20's on my C

I jus got 20" Giovanna rims installed yesterday, tell me what you think. I got 20x8.5 in the front with 245/30/20, and 20x10 in the rear with 255/30/20.

19's, IMO, are too small. 20's are the way to go.

These rims, however, are definitely too wide. Makes the 20's look a lot bigger. I would have went 8.5/9.0 and lowered it slightly.

Anyhow, it still looks pretty good.

I like the wheels, but the rears rims look like they are sticking out that could be due to the tires are too small for those 20X10, do they rub on the fenders? Ask a couple of friends to take a test drive with you.

kinda hard to tell from the two pic angles, but looks like the rears don't sit flush.

Wheels look good and HUGE. Do they rub? How is the wheel gap?

Looks awsome, 20" is perfect size for the car. I probably would have gone narrower on the back tho.

WoW! Can you even get your finger in that tight space?

Well, you know what I mean. Looks good though...

I hope the roads are nice where you are.

Good luck with those. I have a feeling you are going to be rubbing the rear fender when you hit speed bumps. I believe there were previous posts stating 10's were too wide for this car but it's all you.

With these configuration, I'm sure you'll have rubbing issue never think to lower it..
what's the offset btw? bigger than 45 shud be fine, but 10" is too big, max 9" wud be perfect in the back.

it looks nice

I think its of preference
but I would go with 19"
20" are too much rim and less rubber.
NYC would kill the rims.
