Question about 20's...
#31
So here are specs on Pilot Sport A/S's...
Size Diameter Rev's Per Mile % Off
245/40YR18 25.9" 801 0%
255/35YR19 26" 800 0.125%
285/30YR19 25.8" 803 0.25%
245/35YR20 26.6" 778 2.9%
285/30YR20 26.9 771 3.75%
255/30YR20 26.1 794 0.87%
295/25YR20 25.8 805 0.5%
Based on these specs, it seems like a little more comfort would make up for a 3-4% dispairity on the speedo. But I think it is important to keep the tire diameter very close, or it's likely to screw up the stability control.
PS: You guys have me leaning towards 20's now instead of 19's.

I think the 19s are a good size personally. I put my friends 19" wheels on my car just to see and it was a pretty good size. (see my crappy Cell phone picture). It felt faster, stopped better and took the bumps very nicely.
I didn't want to put my "Dubs" back on. =(

One more pic of the 19s.. This one was straight off my phone so its slightly larger.. I was rolling when I took it... But I think you get an idea of how 19s will look....
Man, i wish I could swing some 19s right now... =(

What wheels are you getting?
Trust me (from a person that went through 6 sets in less than 1 1/2 year), you won't regret getting 20's. If you get 19's, there is a alway a chance you may regret it (like me )
Here are some comparison between 19's & 20's

Thanks for your compliment.
This is it. NO MORE NEW WHEELS. I need to save money for new car next year. We'll see what new models come out.
Maybe the new Supra or GTR or maybe even Cayman S. I miss my 350Z Roadster.

I, for one, would get 19s. Want to retain stock circumference/diameter, and they look the same to me on the above photos. But I lip would be a must for me; that's the change the car needs . Oh, and the stock brakes look ridiculous with 20s .
If car is going to be dropped, then 20s make sense, as you gain 1/2" of ground clearance, plus decrease 1/2" of fender clearance. With a modest 1" drop, car looks great, and you only lose 1/2" of ground clearance overall. But I still wouldn't go over stock diameter myself.

You guys crack me up!
SSK0771, I was going to place my order yesterday for iForged Daytona's in anthracite (their version of glossy gun metal) but I'm a little reluctant now that I read the whole TPS thread. I'm waiting for Tony's response in the other thread about iForged & TPS. Nice selection of wheels!

I am pretty happy with my purchase. NO PLANS for ANOTHER SET OF WHEELS.

Why Iforged? I never had them but I seen so many post about their horrible service. Thats one of the reason why I went with Vellanos.
Just make sure you get a good vendor when getting Iforged wheels.
By the way, whats the turn around time on Iforged wheels?
