Anyone done 20's yet?

There's a 350Z here in town with 5Zigen Hyper 5ZR wheels. 275/35/20 in back and 255/35/20 in front. The car is absolutely beautiful....

Just wondering if anyone has squeezed wheels that size on the 8 yet. I'd like to do that myself (once I find the 8 I want) if at all possible.

I have 20s. Mine are large chunks of Lexani chrome, though. Not quite the tuner's dream. <shrug> (see avatar). Better pics if you do a search on 20"

Kel has 20's, too, they look AWESOME.

Are there any 20's that are a tuners dream? The only reason to increase wheel size is to stuff bigger brakes under there. Are there any brake kits that require 20" wheels? I'm not being a dick. I really don't know.

Haha, yeah... It's definatly 100% looks. 20's are never required.... unless you're a P-I-M-P, then they're required. :P

Considering the wheels I was looking at price out at around $860 each, I may go with a one piece 19" or something.

Damn. I wish I had a hydraulic lift. I might not even have a garage after this year.

I love the way the Maido's fill the RX-8's massive wheel well Kel. How much do those things weigh?
