i have the factory rims on mine the 3 spoke double spoke. I run a 255/40/17 in the front and275/40/17 in the rear and i love it. It makes it so much more stable then the 245/45/17 that were on there all the way around. Oh and for all you who say it can't be done. It can easily be done i work at a tire and rim specialist store. I put 20's on accord and civic's all day. I have put a 20" on a mustang. They fit You just have to make sure you go with the right offset and width. The most likely if your suspension sits to low on it they will just use spring coil spacers.

To each his own, if you want 20s and can make them fit, go with it. It's your car, you drive it, not us.
You will definitely not be able to lower it if you go with 20s, that's for damn sure. I also think 20s may look to big for sn95 wheel wells.

I like as wide as you can go in the back, while still remaining flush, and as wide as you can go in the front with the same concept. It looks to me that a 255 would probably fit flush in the front, the 285s look like they fit pretty well in the rear.
