Tallest tires on 20" rim..who has it?

I'm curious as to who has the tallest tires on their 20's. I know there have to be some real meaty beasts roaming the streets?

Sorry... but why? I could understand widest, but these cars aren't some Tahoe rollin' on 20s with a 60 sidewall. If you're running 20s on a G, you need some kind of a drop (springs at least) for the car to not look awful, and that's not really inline with running tall tires.

ride comfort in areas with terrible roads maybe? people who cannot lower their car due to the fact that they live in a neighborhood with a homeowners association and every house has a monster sized bump to go up the driveway...people who want to fill their wheel gaps and not have to worry about the items mentioned above...

In my opinion (and I don't mean to be harsh) but this doesn't really look right

Don't get me wrong, the wheels are nice, I just think they'd look so much hotter with a drop and skinnier tires

I agree. It looks odd.

running thicker tires in attempts to get rid of wheel gap is a NO-NO... IMO.

Sorry, this doesn't really look right, I agree running a thicker tire to fill up the sidewall isn't the most aesthetically pleasing solution, in my opinion. My car is pretty low and I'm running skinnier tires and I have no issues daily driving over some pretty bad roads and getting up and over driveways/bumps that seem worse. Ultimately, it's your decision on what you do with your car, but this is only what I think.

It's cool. No hard feelings here. I've had two lowered s2000's. A lowered si and CL type s. Eventually I may decide to drop it once these tires wear out and my wife gets tired of driving it. I bet if I was dropped and cambered regardless of tires more people would like it.

I kinda agree, you might get away with it, at a one inch drop and about -1.7 neg camber... My next set will be 255/35 and 285/30 to gain 1/4 inch tread width and height....
