you can fit a "narrow" 20 wheel, and the tire cant be or shouldnt be wifer then a 235mm. Thes a few guys around here with 20's.It doesnt look right but they fit.The offset it main thing as to where they sit in the wheel well.heres a couple of 67 and 69

The only classics I have ever seen look good with >17" rims are the two posted above^^^ The black one could sit a tad lower. Nice pics

theres a lot of cars on here with 17"'s. I've had mine since about 1994 and people thought I was crazy when American Racing gave one of the first sets they made.

Human nature doesn't change. I remember when people thought I was strange for insisting on 15" rims instead of 14s.
