Kane,
I recently put new shoes on my car for the summer too. I went with 20" Lexani LSS-10 wheels. These are staggered with 245/30/r20 fronts and 285/25/r20 rears. 20x8,5mm front rims and Deep dish 20x10mm rears.

Thanks guys. Kane, you just gotta learn to drive real slow I could almost drive to work in the morning with my eyes closed now and swerve around every pothole, sewer grate and crack in the pavement. Ha ha.

Anything with a minimal tread will be difficult to survive on any harsh streets, especially New York streets.

You probably will be better off with 19s.
Are you looking for a custom one off wheel or a standard replica style?

Living and driving on the streets of NYC, 20s would be perfect......if you long for bent/cracked rims and bubbled/blown tires. Even 19s, which is what I roll on for my summer shoes, is a major PITA. I have replaced more tires and rims than I can count due to the finest streets that a 50 percent state, city and federal tax burdeen can pay for. :thumbsdown:
