20's on a 2000 Civic SI; what do I need to do?

[CivicBoy80]

Yo,

I got some 20 inch Lexani's that I want to throw on my 2000 Civic SI I just bought. Obviously since I got 20's money ain't nothin'. What do I need to do to my coupe? Raise it? I'm down as long as it down rub the fenders. I heard bout this forum from a google search and I'm hopin that this can happen. 20's 5% tint and 4 seconds on my SI watch. Peace

If you want ur civic to run nice put 16 or 17" rims on 20's r toooo big it'll look kool no doubt, but it won't move out of ur driveway.

If money ain't nothing you should have got a Escalade and throw some 30" on there...........that would be pimp...............on a civic......the biggest rim anyone should put on ever would be 18".......even then it wouldn't look that good.

But hey.......you'll be different with 20's on your civic.

the question is simple.. 20s on a civic.. what do i need..its not whats your opinion.. or should i do this...

"what do i need to run 20s on my si"

You said your buddy works in a rim shop and he said they would fit, so ask him.

None of us can reall help you. I think you are the first pioneer to put 20's on a 6th gen.

You made a poor decision with your wheel size selection.

Yo.

First of all, an EM1 has a ground stomping 111 ftlbs torque. You put 20"s on that b***h and you will get owned by Toyota Yarises. Kids on Raleigh 10 speeds are going to make fun of you. Old women on Rascal scooters are going to hole you.

Second of all, people that really have money, I mean real money, typically do not brag about it. People that brag about it are A: Slinging or B: Still living at Mom's so they don't have any bills and that $18,000 a year working at McDonalds seems like a lot of money. It's not.

you would do exactly the same thing that you would do if you put airbags on your ride. you need to do major cutting to your wheel wells, just measure things and start cutting. youre going to need to roll your fenders also

 

[Sundown]

what is the offset of the 20's as well as the width? That's information we need, not just the height of the wheels. Also what profile tire?

 

[Billy.]

seriously though, youre on the wrong web site asking for advice and help. 98% of what goes on in this site is performance oriented, i.e. 15" wheels, boost, suspension. we dont roll on twanks........... GL with everything though, sounds like a one of a kind setup your going for

dude, you said you had a custom wheel/stereo shop, we should be asking you these qeustions...
