Default Re: 20 inch wheels on the xfire?

CrucialCrossfire,

For those of us who actually put our vehicles on the track and/or generally drive them hard, is there any issue with the outer part of the rear or front tires rubbing the inside edge of the fender? Looks REALLY close to me.

Taking a hard turn and hitting a bump or simple body roll may push that tire right into the fender... not good at all.

General comment about putting 20" wheels on this vehicle. The 18/19 setup is already a nightmare for some when it comes to bent rims from potholes, etc.

When your sidewall becomes too short, you will be almost directly transmitting vibration and impact to the rim.

Other than those points, I do really like the look of the 20" rims, but they seem just a bit more than necessary.
(My opinion, not to be taken if you don't want it).
