mobisam999 Member 10 Member For: 9y 10m 17d Posted 06/06/14 12:26 PM Share Posted 06/06/14 12:26 PM Hi allI've got a set of 20s, 8.5 width. What are the legalities and am I able to have 20s on the car? Does it stuff the car up? Slow it down due to weight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In short, everything is crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
