Default Help!!! 20inch rim decision !!!


I haven’t posted in a while and here is my question. I’m planning on buying black 20inch rims and I was wondering which of the three sizes would make my car tires look fuller without going overboard. I really want to keep the off-road look to it. Tire sizes are: 20x8.5, 20x10, 20x12. I want to do the 20x10 so would I encounter any problems? Please Help!!! I value everyone’s thoughts and opinions. If it helps the question out I also plan on getting Mickey Thomson Baja Claw tires 325/50 R20. Keep the picture I have posted in mind. I believe the rims shown is 20x9.

I assume you are isted rim sizes and not tire sizes? A 20X10 rim would be real tight to the control arm....may fit but would be close. Better to go 20x 8 and be safe. Are you planning on offroading or is this a mall cuiser meant to look like an off roade machine?Reason bieng is that if you do intend to ever off road do not get the 20" rims, 18 is max for a 35" mud tire. You want to have as muh sidewall as possible and a 35 on a 20" rim would only leave you 7.5" of sidewall.....not good at all and near impossible to air down. If you just want to look like you off road then hell go up to 24's....might as well put on fake hood scoops and a cardboard winch too!
