Question for people riding on 20's

I need some side pics please.. My car is on order and will be getting some 20's. How much gap is there on the rear wheels? I'm trying to see the differnce between 20's on a standard frame and 20's on a dropped body. Any info would be great.

Thank You..

RM, there is a lot of pictures and post about the topic, look up on the 28 pages thread about 22" there's a lot of 20" comments in there as well... if you go with the 255x45x20 you won't have a gap... but read the thread, you will get all the info you need.

22" Wheels

Do not, I repeat, do not go with the recommended 245/40/20's. When I ordered my new wheels, this was the tires the supplier told me should be used. Unfortunately, now I have to live the next 15K-25K miles with more wheel gap than even my stock 17's had. I think the best fitting and least modifications needed tire is the 255/45/20's, however I think only Toyo makes a tire in that size. Good luck!

side

245/40/20 i tried to get the 255/40/20 Toyos but when i was buying they were hard to find. Ask Angie I had her guys looking too.
I would go with a larger rear Tire but Falkins is 275/35/20 and thats not as big as the 245. I wait till the right ones come out 245/45/20
