Default Tire Question for a 2GS

Its time for some rims ...Im looking to getting 20's ....i found someone who selling some however the tires are 225-35-20 ....Now my car height is stock and im thinking these tires are going to be extremely skinny and i dont want my car to look like a 4X4 ...So would i have a big gap between the wheel and fender with these tires ? Any input would be appreciated ...thanks

How wide are the rims? 225 is a little on the skinny side.

IMO, any time you put 20s on a car without some lowering AND at least a mild aero kit/parts, the car will look raised. 20s look great on the 2GS but it takes a little more than just the 20s by themselves.

I belive that these are going to be too skinny for you, according to the wheel fitiment guide. http://www.lgwnorcal.com/articles/WheelFitment.shtml

And with 20's if you are not lowered your car WILL look like a 4x4. Hope that helps.
