Default lowered with 20's

i just picked up my 2nd accord an 03 sedan. i was gonna do 19's with 2in skunk 2 springs. but cost wise i dont wanna buy 19's. question is can i do a 2in drop with 20's and not run into major issues. cutting away the plastic wheelwell is minor....

anyone have any pics of any??

You can do 20's with a two inch drop and there will be no rubbing to very little rubbing. A good friend of mine is running Dropzone springs that advertise a 2.5 drop and he's on 20's and he has no rubbing. You'll be fine man. Hope to see some pics soon.

I'd get some 20's on my 2002 but there are no 4lug, 20 inch rims =[

20's will probably tuck a bit with a 2" drop... I'd run an offset of like +50-45mm to be on the same side... or a ton of camber.

Wait, tires for 19's are too expensive, yet you want 20's?

yep.... 19's are an oddball size and cost more.... I work at a tire store and here is a quick example....

NITTO 225/35/ZR19 my cost $135.52
NITTO 225/35/ZR20 my cost $112.21

the cheapest 19 i can get is a GENERAL for $121.12
the cheapest 20 i can get is a NEXEN for $84.87

your odd sizes just cost more
