I heard that these can fit, just curious, as I thought the largest was 19". You guys think there are fender modifications needed?
I currently run with 19" Brabus Monoblock V Multi Piece and think these are large enough...................actaully to big for the crappy road conditions.........

You can make it work, I'm not sure exactly what it entails though. Good luck finding Dronells, they have been discontinued in Japan, and the only ones left are whatever is floating around here in the states. I'd hate to find a set and then wreck one of them!

Check with these guys to see how they made the wheels fit. I guarantee some fender work is involved.

I've talked to Felix before, he has those 20" Dronells. I'm currently running 19" Brabus Multi-piece as well, I had my fenders rolled and the ride is pretty rough. Felix told me he flared his fenders to the MAX and he can make almost every turn no problem.
