The Nitto tC has 20" wheels but I have no idea if it rubs or what. It looks sweet, though.

I know that 19's can definatly fit but I don't think that 20's will without rubbing.

21" will fit.

We got a guy wanting to join Scion Evolution DFW Chapter with 21" wheels on his tC.

Diameter or width? There's a tC up here w/ 20s, and I knwo someone running 19x9.5 in the rear on his tC. The ones w/ 20s looks like a TRD drop, and the one on 19s has Goldlines.

IMO the largest you would want to go is 19", if you put wheels that are too large on the Tc, it starts to look like those guys that put the giant ___ wheels on their SUVs, also realize that you will be riding on tires with a real small aspect ratio, so it will be like a rubber band around huge wheels. And yet another thing, if you go too large you will need to get new brakes, think of the physics behind what you are doing, a 20" wheel is going to have a lot more leverage on the brakes than a 17", meaning that your braking distance will grow. Your gearing might even out a bit more so it will seem like taller gears, but your speedo will definitely need recalibration if you go big.
