The bigger the wheel the heavier they are, that will definately put some stress on the drive train, axles, tranny, not to mention if your car is slow, it would be even slower with 20"+ for sure, it basicaly becomes a boat anchor
The max I would go with is 19" for look comfort and performance if you go with lighter performance wheels vs chrome steel.

You have to remember Twin turbo Z's had HICAS, With 18's you are very limited to what offsets and tire sizes you can run. I wanted a good amount of side wall so I went with 17's. The ride wasn't extremely rigid over bumps and cornering was better than stock due to less side wall role.

Well I've recieved a couple tickets in my time so I'm leaning towards the 20's lol. These are some I had before(below). I hope to find some that are similar. They had black lines on the spokes and the lips were black too. Not too bad right? My car has a 1st gen. lip and spoiler now so they will look much better
