I still cant believe anyone thinks that **** looks good
You wanna run 20's or even 22's on cars that have big wheel wells...that's fine, but damn this **** is getting outta hand. If you have to lift a car to fit the wheels.. Rethink your decision please. Oh well all we can do is laugh

Oh well all we can do is laughIIRC, a truck mag did a test on an SUV.. just by adding 22s, it added something like 50+ feet to the braking distance from 60. if your braking distance is already 180+ feet from 60, do you really want to add another 50 feet to that?
Big heavy car + big retarded wheels + stock little brakes = braking nightmare!
I dont want to be anywhere near this crap on the roads, especially if they are behind me!

its only gonna get worse as these cars become available to the broke *** population thats willing to do this to a car, but the bright side is that the police must harass anybody stupid enough to do this to a car

The only problem with that, is no one ever considers that those 20s or 22s cant be stopped by their tiny stock brakes!! You want big wheels, use bigger brakes..
