for anyone wondering what the factory 20 inch wheels look like when widened here you go. just a few examples i found of a car with the factory 20s widened to 10.75 running a 305/35/20 tire.

Joe any comparison shots of that one and a stock one sitting side by side, or those rims, and tire next to a stock rim and tire?

I'm running the 305 Nitto's on the stock wheels & they are doing great, no need to run wider wheels with 305's in my book.
