If you're serious and not a troll, hardly anyone runs 20" wheels, even when widebody #stancenation #hellaflush #formoverfunction #instabutts #hashtag. 19" is doable, but it looks funny. 18" seems like the sweet spot.

Theres something about stancing these cars thats just hurts the soul. Like do it to a old beamer or hatchback civic. Not to a thoroughbred drivers car thats prided on its balance.

on a serious note you could try to do a 19/20 stagger but id think 20's in the front is a no go.

Or... wait for it.... he could do like a sensible normal person and get his car modded to be functional instead of looking like something that came out of a carnival mirror house. That way he could have his car look nice and still be driveable.

215/30/20 fits in the front no problem. Same OD as a 225/40/18. It would look STUPID on a RB. LOL

you can make a 19/20 setup work and be completely driveable, the difference is not that crazy where its going to look like a donk.

Driveable does not equate into functional necessarily. And yes functional in 19 and 20 is possible but lets not lie to eachother op isnt looking at function but rather if it physically fit
