Post here is one

here is 'SCOTTURNOT's car

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sc-...c400-pics.html

I cant make up my mind about 20's on 97+ stock body. i think if the stance is aggressive and low enough it might look right. but tuck'n i dont think gets the job done. i think it would make them look bigger. definetly would have to have a lip becuase wheels without lip always look bigger. i need more pics and example to choose but im leaning toward a 19 no lip staggered concave wheel with aggressive offsets for my setup with 97+ body.

EDIT: someone photoshop durrby's pic to be lower with out tucking. well i gues if you want show one tucking

20's on a 97 look good if you're low enough. I had 20's on my 97, but I will soon slap my 19's, the 2jzge felt like a slug with 20's. However, my 1J SC will have forged 20's since it has a kit. Most SC kits run low and I don't want to have to worry about loosing my kit on the street or going in and out of driveways.
