Default Will 20's fit on an EF?

Hey guy's, as the title says, will 20 inch wheels fit on an EF without hitting any of the suspension gear?

thanks

I'm pretty sure they don't, unless you run 225 tyres and get wheels with a custom offset to clear the spindles.

GMKILA has 20's on his ED basicly the same suspension setup as EF. maybe PM him and find out what size the rims and tyres are. i know he is running adapters as well.

19's fit on my EF with plenty of room so I doubt 20's won't be too much of a prob. I'm running 245x45x19's all round. Oh yeah, I'm running adapters because the rims are au offset.

my mate fit 20s on his VS due to the fact the rims were only 7.5" (225) wide. with the profile he has (whatever it is) they have the same OD as his stock rims, meaning they wont hit anything. no guard rolling required! (unless you drop it on its assssssth).

id guess youre in similar territory here, as long as you can get the rims.

EDXR6T - yeah the car's almost ready to paint, i'll update the thread when I CBF'd. I seriously don't have time to do anything on it lately so finding the time to paint it is gonna be a bit of a mission.

Yeah you told me you liked that style of rim. I didn't know you meant those exact ones. They're friggin sweet man. Decorsa's are also pretty mint.

for AU offset wheels, youd either run a 25mm or 30mm adapter
