    Default 20" with sl's

    Hey guys, i was just wondering if 20" rims will fit my car with Suoperlow King springs in it? its already on the SL's and im looking at 20's.
    if they do is there any troubles im going to run into?
    also, do you HAVE to run low profile with 20's?

    Thanks.

    im have 19", 245 tyres with SL and i get rear wheel scrape almost every descent sized bump over 80kmph, i think 20's will suffer the same problems, no worse and no better.

    not much, its just a little scuff as the springs compress. You can grind the inside of the wheel arch ( i havent and wont ). I think the only concern for you would be if the front wheels foul the body when turning, and as theres SO many comm' with 20's on, i doubt it will.

    awwk fair enough thats alright. my mate has a BA falcon on 20's and just a tad lower than mine and he said its scrapes but his turning cycle is fine so yeah.

    do you HAVE to run low profile tyres with 20's?
