FEN has 20x11.5 Rear from CCW... Thats the widest I've seen. Seen plenty of 20x11 Rear and 20x10 Front, without spacers, adapters or body kits

I run 335s on mine, but I'm rocking 18x11s.

Those 335's are mammoth!! How much of a drop did you go and do you find the car handles a lot better with this setup?

Majority of people run 275 up front and 315 in the back as their widest tires. SUX2BU there is an exception because his car is magic.

Fen's wheels are GORGEOUS and the PERFECT size 20" wheels. If I ever ran 20's I would run his set up, but i would put wider meats on them.

It's a BMR 1.0" all the way around, but since the verts are a heavier they are more like a 1.25" drop.
It grips like crazy, but has a little more understeer because the fronts are only 245s. I bought the narrowest F14s they make for up front so they would be super light at the track, but now I have 18x4" skinnies for the track. So I ordered some 18x10" F14s to replace my 18x8.5" fronts and am going to run a matching BFG G force KDW 295 tire up front. Then it will REALLY grip like crazy! I'm also going to narrow my 18x8.5 wheels to use as skinnies and sell my current skinnies.
