I think if you were into it i can be done. honestly i have no reason to go over the 18 inch
things to consider though are
the Rougher ride.
the turning radius depending on how wide
and like others have pointed out the weight
but i suppose you can look on the bright side
they look great to ya
and you can put a mungo brake kit on that...
