Depends on the width of the wheel.

YMMV, but I wouldn't use anything wider than 7.5" on this generation.

That's not what you asked via PM :)

The offset on my wheels is 42, but my wheels are different than what you may be getting... Sitting flush with the fenders isn't an option either. If my car were on bags, I could not tuck wheel as they ride just ever so much outside of the fender lip. It's not enough that you can even notice until you are looking right at the car... also I'm not sure on the rub situation... Like I said, i took out the wheel wells which helps, but i've never seen a set of 20's on a 92-98. If I was you, and you really wanna try n run 20's, see if you can find someone that will let you mount one of their wheels on the car so you can get an idea of what you are going to get into... or when you go to a wheel shop ask to see if you can test fit before you make a final sale (obviously letting them know you will buy from them, but you wanna see how soemthing is gonna fit)

I guess I prefer tires over thick rubber bands. That's why I put YMMV.
