Default Widening stock wheels

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.

it really all boils down to the tire manufacturer and section width of their tire. i know Nitto has one of the narrowest tires when it comes to 315s. so you can get away with it on a stock rim. but if you tried squeezing a pirelli 315 or a goodyear on that stock 9 inch wide wheel itll look goofy and will have that funny looking bulge to it.
