My observations: 20" Rim ride quality
Now I know all of you thinking about upgrading to large wheels are terribly afraid of ride degragation. Personally, I feel there is bar none difference, except going over bumps. Personally, the only difference i feel is the lack of acceleration because of my huge 20's. They are Giovanna Attack's and they are heavy, but thats the only difference i feel. How do you other guys with large rims feel about ride degragation? I have Stock Suspension BTW!

Blue, you are right man, with stock suspension, there is almost no diff with the 20" wheels, in some cases, i found that the larger wheels dampened OUT some of the smaller ripples!! One thing though, once you upgrade the supsension, you will lose some (or alot depending on what you do) of that cushy ride!!

the size tire you have is at least 1" larger diameter than stock which will effectively change your final drive ratio and have a negative effect on acceleration.
