Noise? hmm I really never had the stock wheels, as i took them off the same day i got the car, but i would say the car rides fine. Not to bumpy at all, you can hear some rattles when you go through potholes, but i dont think its bad at all.

I would do it all over again if i had to.

I was scared at first when I first got 20"s (just 3-weeks ago). I was thinking the ride will be so bumpy on the new tires and wheels. But, the ride seems fine! I actually like it more than the stock ones. Its a lil more sturdier ride, almost as if I had a sports suspension. The handling is better as well imo.

But, i dont really race or go too heavy on my car, so if ur into looks i wud recommend 20's. If u like to race, go with 19s instead =)

20's make you feel the road a bit more than 19's or stockers. As for fuel milage I still get the same.

Little bumpier on my 20's.
Gas mileage the same...22-24 hwy 16-19 city. Running with 245/35 front, 285/30 rear.
Road noise, depends what brand tire you go with and with wider tires, you have more surface contact = more road noise.

I agree with everyone else here. I have 20s and the ride is stiff but expected and the noise isn't that bad. Also, my gas milage isn't bad (when I driving like I have any sense), so I can either cruise to get good milage or drive like I stole it to get bad milage!

Like everyone else said. Ride is a bit stiff/bumpy. I like to look at it as I'm feeling the road more. My gas mileage is like 18 since I commute on streets/highways often.
