IMO, 20's are a lil big my friend.
Id stick with 17-18's
bigger is not always better.
20's ride horrible, tires are too expensive, they look odd, throw your speedometer WAYYY off, There are no good sides to 20's.
I would go with 17's or 18's

if you were to put 20's on there you would have a hard time fiding one with the right offset, you would prob have to roll the fenders, cut fender liners out.
ive seen people do crazy things to put 20's on a car.
all that work + money just to have rediculously huge wheels on a car.
whats the world comming to lol.

Not with the stock suspension. Plus, why would you want to raise your car if you currently have stock rims?

i have 20's on my coupe and i didnt have to roll my fenders! Just find you some 20x7 and you'll be fine mine are 20x8.5 and a guy who was visiting his daughter from N.C. has 20x7 on his coupe but you'll need 225/30/20 to make them fit cause with that tire its the same as the stock 15 wheel in diam.

Good advise. Go out price 20 inch tires and remember they are very soft rubber and will last just 2 years maximum.... then ask yourself if thats what you really want.

It's funny this is such a sensitive discussion on this forum. Mostly because all the members here have an opinion that they don't like 20's on a Legend or to big for a Legend, or tires to soft, or no side wall and you will curb your rims.

I respect all that, but why would you guys care what someone else wants to do with their ride?? for me I don't care if dude wants 20's. I'm not gonna pay for them, and I'm not gonna ride the car either. It is his/her's dime, so why are we so critical when we see any thread that talks about 20's???

Hey man, shoot roderick a PM. He has them on his sedan and they look really good, even though I'm not a fan of big rims or chrome rims for my car, they looked awesome on his. Check pics of the FL meet and you can see them.

You have missed the point completely. No one is being critical, we are being helpful !
I dont care what he does, I am giving him advise. He can take it or leave it its up to him on what do do with the information provided.

He will want to know the ride will suck, the tires expesive and his rims will be easily bent BEFORE he buys these right ? Now if he goes ahead and spends his money and ends up with 20s that rub, a rock hard ride and bent wheels too at least he wont be surprised.

I usually do not post unless i have something good to say.but, i do read all the post that my free time will allow. i myself have put 20" wheels on my coupe and also lowered it with eibach springs. the ride is firm but not hard it handles well and you will need to roll the rear fenderlips. i am running 225/35/20 kuhmo tires wrapped around a 20x7.5" alt wheel.you should do what you like with your car.at the end of the day if you don't like them it's not permanent. you can always take them off and sell them. i love mine and would not trade them for a 17 or 18" wheel.well thats just my opinion but do what makes you happy.

No I get the point. but sometimes people get flat out flamed cause they ask the question.
