i dont see the DONK image happening on this car considering were all pretty used to seeing the 21 and 22" wheels on the concept. plus since it can fit up t oa 24" wheel, they actually wont look bad on it because you do have alot of fender t ofill up. it only looks rediculous on most cars because the fender gap between the wheel and fender is so small.
I hope not. You're right, IMVHO, that the relationship between wheel and fender opening sizes also affect looks. 28-inch tall tires just seem like they give up some in performance but, that's just MHO. It may help ride quality, but I can change it if I don't like it, so no big deal.

True enough. The cheapest tires I found above 255 cross-sectionally with 21-inch diameters was like $350 a tire! I won't be doing burnouts if that's the case!!!
