i've always been taught that there are two kinds of arguments - objective and subjective:

objective - how many people live in now york?
subjective - is new york a nice place to live?

i read three things in this thread:

1. objective - can you fit 20" wheels on a 986? yes, live with it. picture is proof. the only one still arguing the contrary is jd, and even he has revised his argument to "aesthetically 20 inch wheels won't work"; a slight change that speaks volumes.

2. subjective - what does it look like? that's up to you. that's where the arguement lies.

3. left field: crono0001 is looking for a date. there are better forums than this one for that, however.

TRK,
If you're going to quote me, then please be accurate and don't dissect my words .
This is what I said:

The bottom line is, an 11 inch wide wheel will not ascetically or functionally fit properly on a 986 boxster . Period !


Judging by the photo alone, it looks like he's running only a 245 tire. A tire that narrow on such a wide wheel will likely to roll off the rim under load .
