19s could work on a Chaser... 20s don't work on anything. Too big for a car, too small for a 4WD.

I ran 19 inch Work Rezax on my Celsior and they were the perfect size. Looked fairly gangster at the time. Needed spacers for the front but I never got around to it.

For a looks-oriented JZX100 I think 19s would work if you ran decent width & offset. Then you could keep a set of 18s with semis on them for the track. :)

To prove my point:

If you post pics & specs of the Volks you'll probably get some interest on here.

i dont know i really like the look of them just put them on for fun and ended up buying them.
my only other option is to through my 18s on for work/missus/etc.. and then through the 20s on in summer when i only use the car on weekends. will post in classifieds if i decide to sell either. also any other info on flaring guards or widening etc...

You wouldn't need to flare the guards, just get the inner lips rolled in. That's if the stupid plastic flares allow you to do it... I dunno - Steve will be able to give more advice on that point.

ok well ive found with guard work (for flares), theres 2 issues. first being the overall diameter of the rim+tyre and the height of the car. particular on the front flares. if height is the only issue, then a simple trim of the flares is all thats required. so when theres suspension travel, the rim tucks up into the guard, easy.

the other issue is width/offset. if the rims out too flush, then they will majorly scrub. and seeing theres metal brackets in the guards, you could quite easily pop a tyre. so u will have to follow the steps i posted earlier. with the flares coming off, everything trimmed properly, and the metal gaurds underneath rolled.

ie, this is mine atm with just a trim. the flares are comming off monday to be properly rolled and trimmed.

It doesn't look to bad with the 20's! Fine for cruising imo.

I'm so use to the 18's on mine they look small. Lol.

Volks are mean wheels man. Just get them power coated black if that's what you want.

Are the facelift flares the only flared guards in automotive history that actually reduce clearance?
