see my wheels in my sig? those are 20x9 and 20x10 on a stock non sport suspension. i havent rubbed once. want to buy my wheels? Around 650 miles on them. Brand new rims and tires. No bends and wheels are 99% perfect! i small ding from when i dropped a lug nut and it chipped a piece of paint off the inner barrel maybe a quarter the size of a pea.

Just a little helpful information for you.
Our cars correct offset is +20 (when i say our cars im assuming you have a RWD. If you have the XI then your offsets are different and disreguard my info)
My front wheels are 20x9 with a +20 offset - tires sizes on the front are 245/35/20
My rear wheels are 20x10 with a +25 offset - tire sizes on the rear are 275/30/20
Hope this helps a little. Be sure to use the search function in the top right corner of your page! It also helps to search using quotations (ex. "wheel offset")
BTW
to the forum!

I believe you can go all the way to 21" which I've seen members done before. GL with your wheel search.
You can go all the way up to 21", but to be honest it just dont look right if you dont have a small drop. Otherwise you might look like a 4xRunner.
