Default 20" on a 68

Can you fit 20 inch wheels on a 68 with stock suspension? Has anyone done it? If so, what was the wheel/tire size and backspacing?

Could you post a pic of what you have in mind? I am sure they will be too big. IMHO big rims like that have no buisness being on classic's. Just my opinion, it might look good, thats why I want to see a pic.

That to me would look like crap. To each to their own. 17" max for me.

This is the look I'm trying to achieve. Tell me it doesn't look good.

It looks ookaaayyy. Doesn't look fast. Classics should look fast. I don't care too much for trailer queens. Just my opinion.

OK, It doesn't look good,didn't in the first pic,and not the second. but they do look good with 18's if they keep the classic muscle look like some of the foose & Boyd wheels.
