20s? thinkin about it..

the rims i want SUCK in offsets for 19s. i did some number crunchin and realized 20s cost just an extra $100 more for the wheels and around the same ballpark in cost for tires.

so the question is.. why the f*ck not go with 20s?

what do you guys think? performance issue? better ride with 19s?

im thinkin 20x8.5 and 20x9.5 (+20,+25) for the rims i wanted.

245 30 20 and 275 30 20

Tires will cost quite a bit more. What wheels are you looking at? Nothing worse than seeing cheapo dubs...

yup.. or same price. I was tire shopping for 20s and sometimes they're cheaper sometimes they're the same.. very unusual to be more expensive though.

I was in the same boat.. 20s costs just a little more compared to 19s.. so why not?? haha

29s? lol typo.. my bad.

yeah.. 20s is so much more tempting now that ive compared the prices.

im still really interested in getting the black/polished lip MRR GT1s.

i just cant seem to find a rim that i want within my budget ($2000)

if you're not goin to the track and don't mind a little slower acceleration, you can get 20's. you'll notice the difference if you don't get forged wheels. you budget doesn't allow for forged wheels so you could go with some axis wheels too.
