I run 20" Volks and love them. 35 series in the rear I would not dare run less then that as I live in Maine and the roads are terrible. If your gonna run 20's I would get quality ones though bc they do take a beating and cheaper ones will just not be strong enough to take it.

JUst ordered my 20's, Vertini Fairladys, with cheapy achillies tires for now. Im not using these tires for a track and I live in the city with flat roads. 20's should be fine but we all know 275/30/20's in rear will be hard as hell. If you get 20's your not getting them for comfort.

I like 19'' better with thicker sidewalls. 20'' are great looking too, but for me I'd prefer some more cushion for the horrible roads in my area =P. I have Invo's with 40 front and rear; really smooth ride compared to some of the 20-30 my friends have. Coupled with stiff suspension... It literally shakes my teeth loose. Since my car is DD, I need the comfort =P. I'm due for new tires soon I think, and this time I might go for 35 all around.

hahaha....I can relate. I've never driven in PA before, but here there's so many holes sometimes I swear I'm driving on the damn moon.

It should be added that you should NOT put on 20's without a drop. Pretty much every rim size will look stupid without a drop but 20's are definitely worse than smaller sizes.

at least that doesn't look so out of place, buying rims without a drop shows you obviously cared enough to get rims but not fix the ugly gap.

check out my thread "x's with stock supsension on 19's or 20's," a drop, even a slight one looks soooo much better.
