Im going to bag it if I dont sell it.

And yes lots of modification needed but the 20x 7.5 wide helped alot.

running 35 series tires.
30s cost way to much and you dont need as much modification but at $330 a tire from BFG Ill pass on the .5" difference.

I was just curious what you had to do in the wheel wells to get the dubs to fit. I've got 18's right now with 225/35 tires and I'd like to put a bigger tire on to smooth out the ride.

I'm open to options...

Rear: I had to cut the rear side skirt inward, cut some junk out behind the wheel on the upper part of the wheel well, space the rim out 1/4"

Front: Tub the fender or bang it in near the place your feet would be on the inside of the car.

Once I lower it I will have to cut the fenderwells out completely.

Default 20's

Mine is lowered 1" on TuRD springs w/ TIS Type II (Dubs) 20" x 7.5 w/ 42mm offset running 225 x 35 ZR 20 Nitto 555's. Mine has a minor rub at full chock (inside on frame), and at the front fender double bolt block on deep bumps, but if you modify your wheelwells enough (including trimming the edges of the wheel well seam & ground effects) you can make it so it doesn't rub at all in normal driving. You don't have to remove or "tub" anything if you massage your wheelwells properly.
It gets alot more compliments on 20's than when it had 18's.

Check my photos by clicking the"BOP xB" icon below my name.

To each his own i guess, I just think that 20s are way to big for a scion. Even if you bag it you are not going to be close to the ground, so that kinda defeats the purpose.

No crap, if you want to completly redo and chop in side the fender just like he has. I am installing the eai airride on mine this week with 18 x 7 roja formula 5s, but it still sits 2inch from the ground so what do you think will happen with 20s.

Very nice my man! very nice, I opted aginst the chrome, but I can't argue with tha style!
Mine's dropped 1.75 on the same tires...
And to all those suggesting bags, your talking alot of cutting... but as the H@ shows, anythings possible!
