As far as tire size not really lookin for a particular size. Just lookin for somethin that doesn't rub.

if youre at stock height it shouldnt rub if you stick with conservative size and offsets

My fronts rub. I am running 20x9 or 9.5 upfront and it rubs a lot. It has some pretty thin tires on it also. Stock height.

If you roll 20's and not lower it, it'll look like a 4x4 F-150. Don't do it.

^^^ I agree. I have 20s and before I got my car lowered....it rubbed. But it looked hideous IMO. I got the car lowered and some thinner tires and the rub is ridiculous. The rub was manageable without the car being lowered but with the car lowered, it's just horrible. I'm looking to go to a body shop and work out a solution. By the way, I have 20x8.5 and 20x9.5 lowered on eibach.

agreed, offsets play a big part as well as the tire size.

Wheel gap can be closely compared to vagina. The more fingers you can fit, the worse off you are.
