Yep , that really the only worry I have . Even in 2009 20"+ rims would not be good .

This is happening with most car manufacturers it seems. Unfortunately concepts always look great with their large wheels and minimal wheel gap, but come production versions there are practical concerns so they always end up with much larger wheel gaps and much smaller wheels
