20"

[mazda619]

Hey guys just wondering if 20" rims will fit on the 5? If not 19"s?

[Antoine]

Welcome (hi)

(bump) for someone who might know and I'm subbin to this thread...I'd like to see a VIP style 5! (thumb)

If you use a 225/30R20, sure. That'll give you a tire with the same radius as the stock 17. Talk about a rubber band of a tire. 2.7 inch sidewall. Not too practical, but I'm sure a good tire/wheel guy could do it. It might take some experimentation with wheel offset/spacing to get that 225 in there.

Actually, the 20 would be .2 inch more diameter.

[dommo_g]

By the way, for that size tire, it'll be over a grand just for tires alone. Using a Hankook Ventus as an example.

Awesome (thumb)...Keep us updated on your VIP project! You can start by posting pics of the rims you're thinking of getting...maybe someone can photochop them on a 5!

Educate an idiot... what does VIP mean referring to wheels?

It's a style in Japan for fixing up rides. A little bit of "class", a little bit of "bling". Mostly done on higher-end Toyotas, Nissans,etc. in Japan.Wood grain interior, sometimes curtains, are also the norm. It's been around for decades.
Look it up. :)

[jandree22]

Well, I looked up "VIP style cars" in google and I got the jackpot. These are some sexy cars. And like you said, these two are Lexus and Infinity. VIP style is good :)

[Antoine]

I'm sure the 5 would lend itself very well to the VIP style :D

[L8R]

Air ride and some AME rims, you're set!

Not everybody is concerned with race car handling...some people just like to look good.

Yeah...I'm thinking there has to be some sort of adjustable suspension there. Airbags or something.
