Want to stick 20's....
i wanna go wid some dubs. but i have a few questions:
1. how much do i need to drop the car to have it look moderate?
2. Will it rub? (20 X 8.5)
3. Is it worth it or should i stick with 19's?

i went with the 19s, and sometimes they look too small to me...and could definitely fit another inch. i've seen several CLs with 20s and i think they're perfect!
just my opinion.

what do you mean "jacks up the car"? i have 19s and a big gap, which i know could handle 20s easily and my car is dropped. i've also seen 2 CLs in my area with 20s and not jacked up on stock body...they are on the floor...looks nice.

TQ > MPG
<---- Will be getting 20's at some point, and I already know what wheel and what size tire will fit w/o rubbing problems. They ARE NOT ghetto looking either.

I have 20's on my CL-S. It does go past the fender, about a quater of an inch. Which I'm sure in other peoples minds in ghetto fab, but shit I got 20x8.5's on the CL. I do have to agree that it does take away from the sleekness of the car, but when you putting on aftermarket chrome, your not trying to be sleek anymore. If you were, you'd rock 19's or 18's, painted to match or something. My two cents, is that if your putting on chrome, the bigger the better and there really is no difference between 235-35-19 and 225-35-20, for peeps in NYC. I drive the Nitto's225/35/20 in Boston and its cool. Do the twinkies, and if you happy rollin on em, thats all that counts.
