20's are done with. overated. 19's are perfect! when you're riding on something other than stock (19's with sport suspension) you're gonna change the whole ride of the car. the g's already handle great as it is. why mess with it. sure i have 255's and 275's with the Eibach Prokit but it's almost identical to stock and looks great. sure, 20's could look nice but i think they're too big for the G. makes it look ghetto like an old Buick Riviera. Just my opinion.

I agree with BeachCoupe, 19's are good enough. Some people want 20's just so that they can say they have dubs. Honestly, who cares. 19's fit the G just right.

does anyone really know how often we should rotate our kick *** tires? of course you have to rotate from side to side taking the tire off the rim and swapping them. 3k or 4k miles? anyone? beuller?.......beuller?

hmm..i already asked for 285 but ill ask if i can downgrade! 255/275 it is! (hopefully) plus this will save me 40 bucks

and i went for 19s cause 20s are way too much IMO. 19s fit the coupe perfectly..

plus i wouldve gone over my budget with 20s!

It all depends on your setup, but assuming you're lowered, with no correction kit and just outside the factory spec threshold...the first time should probably be around 2-4k so you can inspect the wear and get an alignment or correction kit installed if necessary. If you only get an alignment, focus on the TOE:
Too much toe-in causes accelerated wear at the outboard edges of the tires, while too much toe-out causes wear at the inboard edges.
Just keep an eye on the wear, when the wear on the, now, inside surpasses the outer then it's time to swap again...should last nearly two oil changes if your alignment was corrected.

You will most likely need to balance the wheel after each swap...plus, every time you swap there is the chance that they will scratch or damage the rim...something to consider
