I must just be stupid, because i get real spaced out when i read all of the terminology and try to put two and two together. I don't want to mess up. Goal: 20 inch rims. Suspension: available to do this? or will 20's rub during a turn? what is the biggest i can get away with in combo with suspension change? just a few questions i have.

Drop or not. ~darp~ Originally posted by P�?�?�WD�?�?��?®C�?�?�?�?TM�?�?�N: I can do anything if i can find that powder .

Even with some fender rolling, cutting,etc. you'll still rub some with 19"s. I think a good many people have achieved no rub with 18"s. 98.5 SVT 91 Escort GT (almost sold) 96 ATX Zetec (i brake to watch you swerve) FS: SVT rear sway bar WTB: Very cheap beater CEG Dragon Run - October 13-15

I figure if i love my girlfriend i buy her an expensive shiny ring. I love my contour so i buy her expensive shiny wheels. right? maybe a suspension that would give it clearance enough for 20's, that will allow a smaller amount of body work? i understand the wheels will rub with the way the turning is set up. if anyone is feeling creative, add it up see if it might work. I know i have found wheels that will supposedly fit it, but i know i'll still get rub. can't get longer axles cause of the brake placement. i dunno, maybe i'll just go 17 or 18 and make them REAL shiny. holla Jeremy AKA Jai '95 SE Contour / Midnight Purple (R.I.P) -------------------------------------------- Hopefully soon to own a candy red 1992 Caddilac STS ~ w00t w00t!

I ride on 19s w/a drop and did not have to do heavy heavy work, I did not even have to roll fenders or anything close to what your post implies. All that is required is a little trimming where the bumper meets the fender since that area sticks out about a half inch further. I say go for the 20s, I love my 19s and have no regrets about getting them. 2k silver svt #1721 Ignorance breeds stupidity..
