can you put 20'' wheels on a 98 prelude with 215 35s? and drop it an inch,do you think it will rub?

i have 215/35/R18
and they scrub when u turn the steering the full 2.5X
and my car isn't lowered, it looks like a boat

so YES, you will scrub.

no such thing as a 215/35/20??
smallest 20" made is 215/30/20,( new size that we now stock)

do you mean 18's?

all comes down to 20" rim width and offset at the end of the day

Some have had 215/35/19 work, generally with a +45 offset. This is the result

Also got to wonder what handling and ride are like.

While I agree wheels are such a personal thing I try not to pass judgement on them. So many times I've seen a car that I absolutly love spoiled by the wrong choice of wheels, but the owner loves them , so that's all that matters.

If the OP is asking about putting 20s on, then handling and ride clearly aren't the top priorities. Though that black example with the 19s I posted above kept up with everybody pretty well through the Marysville hills a couple of months ago.
