Guys running 20" wheels
Hey everyone. I am looking at 20" wheels and am wondering for those of you running them how is the ride/handling compromised? Are you lowered on springs or coils? Any pictures would be great! N1ck I know youre on 20s hahaha

Take a ride in Nick's car & you will know if you like the ride or not in real life.
20's are nice but too dangerous to bend or crack a wheel with 25 series rubber band tires. A friend of mine cracked 2 HRE in 20's... that's why I decided to go safer with 19's.

20s looks big in pics, but it looks really nice in person. But you do run a larger risk of damaging your wheels on pot holes, and i know waterloo is full of them! :P get 19s and slam on the car on coils

I've dented my HREs already on some crazy SF potholes. It's barely noticeable in the feel of the steering wheel, but I'm still getting them replaced. I'm running 235/30s in the front and I'll probably switch to 245/35 Michelins next.
20"s do give the car a more aggressive stance though.

You were in my car at Waterloo on Avicii week I think lol. The ride is pretty stiff and you gotta be more careful driving it. Let me know when you come by Toronto and we'll go for a spin.
