Default Which wheels,20's on a 2g spyder

Ok guys,i have narrowed my choice of new wheels down to these two.Tell me what you all think,priced comparable,falkens are 20x8.5 which might be a bit of a stretch,and the konigs are 20x7.5. All i can do is link,im not sure how to just do the pics,so if someone would be so kind,it would be great! Falken Koblenz Konig Tuner 2 The pics of the konig's are 19's but they are just to give you ideas,i have 19's now and just wanna move up.Let me know what you all think

Im not sure if you can do a poll with pics or not but if at all possible it would be sweet for someone to make a poll for me using the links i provided,your opinions mean alot,and i am going to take your opinions seriously since i am going to be making a $1000 decision,thanks!

Haha ANY 20s on a 2g would be ricey looking. The absolute biggest I would go on a 2g is 18". Anything beyond that is only hurting your performance, and I think 20s would just look too big on a 2g.

Well I wasn't trying to shoot him down I just didn't want him to be dissapointed in how poorly his car brakes with the new big wheels, unless he plans on doing a big brake upgrade. Also if you are insistent upon doing 20" try to make it look good by flaring out your fenders with a widebody kit or something to a) help them fit, and b) not make it look like you had to really try to make the rims fit.

To answer your inquirees,i am absolutely set on doing 20's,i do have plans on doing front and rear big brake upgrades,i already had bought an AEM big rotor kit off of ebay but i never recieved it,@$$&*!*,i still intend on getting a front and rear kit when oppurtunity arrises.I have 19x8 axis se7ens on there now with 235/35/19 tires.I dont believe i will have to do any suspension mods to make them fit,if so i will get them to work though.I am really not concerned with performance with 20's because I am happy with the cars performance with the 19's so i doubt i will be able to decifer a difference in 1" bigger wheels.Keep the opinions coming,i like hearing them!

you will have to roll the fenders in the front and rear to fit those tires.
