i'm not a fan of anything bigger than 19s. i think it takes away the sporty look of the car and makes it look more like a DUB edition car or something. my opinion could be swayed if i saw some 20 inch HREs or Volks, but i just hate the blingy 20s that some people get. i still prefer 18s or 19s in any type of wheel. it all comes down to personal preference though. good luck with your decision.

WHAT PROFILE DO YOU HAVE NOW IN THE REAR? DO YOU HAVE YOUR CAR DROPPED ? I'VE POSTED UP MANY COMMENTS ON THIS FORUM ABOUT THIS TOPIC AND IM STILL EFFIN CONFUSED LOL..

I'VE ALSO CHECKED TIRE PRICES ONLINE AND 19's VARY FROM 20's...20's BEING $50 - $80 MORE EXPENSIVE PER TIRE IF ONE GOES WITH THE FAMOUS 245/30/20 FRONT__ 285/25/20 REAR SETUP...FOR STAGGERED FITMENTS I WAS TOLD TO GO W/ A PROFILE THAT'S 5 LESS OF WHAT YOU HAVE ON THE FRONT..

I WOULD LOVE IT IF EVERYONE WITH 20's WOULD SHARE THEIR POV's ON THIS TOPIC..IT WOULD HELP TONS !!

egh, this kind of turned me off. i was going to just go with the 20s but this is makeing me second guess my choice.

i went and got a quote today and the guy offered me:

20x8.5 & 20x9.5
235/30/20 & 275/30/20 Toyo Proxes T1R

Is this a good wheel and tire setup? if not, which tires would be better?

I'm in this dilemma as well.

Zyoxx, in his thread, told me that he has no rubs with 20 inch rims, and that he had no rubs whatsoever.

It looked sexy, but he seemed to be running a really low profile tire setup.

I just don't know if I can enjoy the ride quality loss...decisions, decisions...
