Sure! With enough money you can make one fly too! How much money do you want to spend to do this?

Yes you can.

How would you do it?? A lot of work and a lot of money. That's a completely custom job. You can't throw 26s on your stock box without MAJOR and EXPENSIVE modding...

20's can be a real pain in the azz. I would really think twice about attempting that. Not only would you need to do some significant modification to make it fit, it would also ride like crap, and look pretty silly.

i know and I'm just trying to give him a price, lol... I dont think people understand the work involved here... I mean you're talking about cutting the frame and moving stuff under the hood, obvious body work, the cost of the rims and tires, plus the stuff that cant be calculated such as the loss of a practical car, lower gas mileage, lower accel, worse handling, etc...

I mean I'm not saying it isnt possible, but I am saying its gonna cost you several g's. Plus you need to find a shop willing to take it on, and hopefully you have another car to drive for a week while they do it...

But come to think of it I guess you could somehow kick out the rims to oustide the the width of the car and custom a widebody, which would be pretty insane...

Any way you go about it I can't see this being cheaper than say $15,000...

Also I don't think the xB motor would have enough power to run that size rim, it would need a bigger motor.
