No possible way to fit 20's onto a 97 CL?

I know the lug is 4 for the CL, 20's come in 5 or 6, but im guessin theres no possible way to get 20's onto a CL eh?

Not a car expert when it comes to wheels/tires as you can tell

there are a couple people here who have 19s but i don't think 20s would work or if you'd want them to. 18s are harsh enough in the city (especially this year with all the pot holes) I can't imagine what 20s would be like - like riding on the rims

I seen 20's on an 4 door Accord. But, it had a widebody kit on it so, I wasn't able to see how clearance you be stock. Also, it looked like he had a LARGE 1/2" sidewall around the tire. LOL!!! One good pothole, and you'll either have your rim in for repair or buying a new one.

lol why would you put 20's on a CL? can you imagine the harsh ride and constant rubbing of the inner fender....turning radius would suck balls too.......you can find 20" wheels in the 4x114.3mm lug pattern, but i wouldnt recommend it......IMO, 18's look just right tucked under the fenders of 97-99 CL's

I think 19's look perfect, but 20's are reall big. The smallest sidewall you can buy right now is a 35 anyway right? Thats all that would fit on the 19's and the diameter of the 20's would mess up ABS. I say go 19's, too much work involved with 20's but they prob would look hot....

19's maybe but 20's i dont know about that

maybe if you widen the body and flare out the fenders

but maybe thats too big but spinners would be cool

Damn, you read my mind! =D
Actually Ive been looking into 20's because of the spinner kit's.
The roads arent that bad around here, and i'm figuring 20's wouldnt be too bad for the car around here..
Just wondering, if they'd fit without too much problems, thats all =\

Only thing the spinner kit only comes in 5 lug or 6 lug patterns.
