you will have to roll the fenders in the front and rear to fit those tires.
are you referring to the tires i have on there now?i have sportlines w/agx's and it is dam close to hitting the quarterpanel lip,but it doesnt.If you are talking about the 20's it depends on which size tire i run if i run 225/30/20,25.3" tall or 25.8" tall.my tire on there now is 25.5" tall.[sm=youreright.gif]SHOOT! i just remembered when i get a camber kit on there it will have to happen no matter what,so you are right fender lips will have to go bye bye,ok with me

IMHO the 20's are just too much. I myself refuse to run anything bigger than 18's most likely I will be running 17's if I even replace the stock rims. (Polished Conquest rims look DAMN smooth). just my thoughts but the more rim you have the more weight. Less rubber perhaps but metal weighs more than rubber for one and besides I think that the big rims are gaudy. I mean look at the magnums they have with the 22's on them [:'(] Ugly in my eyes. Just my opinion though.

I say go with the Falkens man i think they look much better(and very good in general), those konigs arent very impressive and their would be to much showing behind the rim. GL with the work involved but im sure the ending result will look good just make sure you get those tucked in man because they will look ricey as **** if they arent.

i know that you are "set" on 20's. but, you aren't planning on making ur car fast are you??? anything past 17' / 18' is going to slow you down. for the big brake kits you only have to have 18' MAX rim on there to make any brake kit fit. im throwing a BAER brake kit on my 99 eclipse w/ 18' motegi's. as for opinion on looks for the wheels. neither are wheels that i would choose but i like the Falkens. again, i think the Konig's are to Ricey looking. good luck.

if you really have to one of the two then get the falkens. Why do you have to have 20's on it anyways?

I am happy with the performance of my car the way it stands,i do plan on upgrading the turbo only really because the stock one is not very efficient.I know about the brakes most kits will fit with 17" rims.Like i said i have 19's on there now and they just look tiny any dont appeal to me anymore.Trust me guys,im not out to ruin the look of my dsm,im not gonna make a gauwdy decision,(you dont see me striving for chrome do you lol)so if they look dumb,i will not install them,i will do flares or whatever i have to,to achieve a super clean look.I like being a lil different with my ride so,i wanna go in a different direction with this.Keep in mind it is a spyder so i just love to cruise anyways[sm=goodidea.gif] as opposed to racing,cops are way too on the ball around here to let racing happen.

All I do is cruise around and my car has 17s and doesnt need any bigger... honestly My opinion on 19s is they ruin the look of a car...20s on a FWD car is even worse, but that is just me. and its not my car or money so go for what you want
