Default a n00b question about rims on 07 tC

so as i see most of you are riding 18's

but i was wondering what is the maximum size rim the tc can fit stock height with no springs?

would 20x8.5 fit on my tc??
because i saw these really nice rims that had those measurments.. well thanks guys for the help

20's don't look good on a tC.... too big...

and btw.. choosing the right tires plays a big part in fitment too...

with 20's yeah... crazy low profile tire....

i wouldn't go any bigger than 18's
i'm actually, personally on 16's.. ride's much better.

Also factor in the drop of your Springs (if you have them or plan to buy them) before deciding on a rim size. IMHO, I think 18x7.5 or 18x8.5 are the best sizes for a tC.

like i said im a n00b when it comes to cars and all the specifications... what is wrong with riding dubs on a scion? or is it just not your personal taste? because im more into the bling factor....would a 20x8.5 rub? and would it be possible to put on my ride?

i understand we have different taste but can you answer my orignal question without a biased answer

will 20x8.5 wheels work with my scion? or will it screw it up

thanks

i went on this other site and they said the tc supports 20x8.5 can somebody verify this for me please

how about you get them anyway... and if your car gets messed up in someway or another, you can help other people by posting in that other thread...

good idea?

here's my unbiased answer.... don't reveal yourself as a n00b or make it worse by further insinuating it as such when you post a completely new thread as your very first post...

tried to play nice... and would've locked this thread before it got further.... but nonetheless... it's done.
here.... watch this: Posting And You...
