I have the '06 sport 19's, on sport suspension and would like to put on 20's.
I fear that 20's on a sport suspension will look like a 4x4, but would like some proof.

I don't know much about lowering my car (AT ALL I GUESS), and am wondering, if i do have to lower my car, is any part of the 'sport' suspension used? Or would it have been a complete wast of $$ to get the sport package?

Thanks!
And pics of 20's on sport suspension would be appreciated (and i suppose some 20's on 'other' suspension would help me decide).

I'm on 20's right now with stock susp...
I'm still debating about lowering it 1/2".

 

I had 20s on the stock sports suspension and had that 4x4 feeling. The wheel gap was huge in my opinion. I ended up with a set of Tein S-Tech springs which lowered the front 2" and the rear 1.3". I'm guessing the 20s lifted the car a good 1/2" so the net drop wasn't that much. I didn't need a camber kit to get my alignment back into the green (the dealership did my alignment) so I'm wondering if the sports suspension actually helped in that department.

Here is a picture of the 20s on the stock sports suspension:


Here is a picture after I put new springs on:


Hope this helps!

 

Looks like crap without the lowering springs

 

it doesnt look bad at allll on stock suspension....of course lowering will help..



i want to lower it just alittle...anyone recommendations?

 

I dont know how much different 06 sport suspension is from '04
but my car doesnt look like a 4x4 I think dropping will enhance the look a lot
but its not a must
maybe tire size & offset plays a part in the look
mine are:
255/35/20 fr (+20 I think)
285/30/20 rear +25 offset

**edit**
BTW I just noticed the black G above his pics after lowering it looks about the same as my stock height

 

these are pretty good looking for stock suspension

 

The chrome door handles and no tint look good on your setup

 

 

i have a 04 and the wheels are 20x8.5 and 20x10 ...sizes are 245/35/20 and 275/30/

 

This is prior to a wash and my tint but its the only pic I have handy right now. I don't think it looks horrible at all though a small drop does change the look bigtime. I was about to pickup a tein basic kit but there is a 99% chance i am selling my coupe for a g37.

 

GamingMom,

Your missing splashguards in the rear. Which give the rear a more hunkered down look. And in my personal opinion the 03-05 years have the best spoiler to compliment 20" rims. I've seen many G's with 20" rims and the 06-07 spoiler doesn't look as good with them. IMHO

 

This G is incredible, its just right. Love the wheels, HRE or Iforged

Got anymore pics?

 

If you use 20"s and you dont lower the car...the Center of Garvity will be way off.

 

These are some old pix of Sevas wheels i no longer have. SS on 20's. I am lowered with, eibach prokit. Slam it if you are on 20's IMO!
