Howdy,
Just wondering how those of you rolling on dubs have found the experience? I'm really enjoying the current chuckability of my F on the stock 19s, but I'd really like to fill the arches with a bit more wheel.
Many Thanks In Advance,
Jeff

My car has 20" wheels and the ride is no different than the 19's I had on the car, you can ask my wife
. What I do have is less pothole and curb protection but this is mininmal since the stock tires don't have a tall sidewall to begin with.
I drive 20 miles of canyon roads behind my house with my car pretty low and at considerable speed without issue. My car will rub on occasion on the top of the fender liner on very severe dips. If I raised the car a bit that would be eliminated. Most of the folks that think 19's ride much better than 20" wheels probably haven't driven in a F with them. Please note that my car has KW V3's which helps the car ride better than stock. If you plan on racing the car on a track you may want to stick with 19's though.

The ride is about the same, but IMO the car drives better because it's more stable with the wider setup. I suppose you can go wider with 19s as well. When I had the stockers it just felt like there wasn't enough tire to keep the car planted.
Just be careful about weight.. if you get some heavy chrome dubs then your steering/handling/braking will suffer! But that's pretty obvious. heh
