hi guys, i'm new here. i'm in an iforged group buy, and was considering either 19 or 20 in rims. people with 20 in, how is the ride? did you lower your car? ....if lowered, do the fenders have to be rolled? sorry if i'm asking too many questions. please don't flame for not searching, search tool here sucks. please, any personal experiences with 20 in rims would be appreciated. also, would you switch to 19's after having the 20's?

 

Im very happy with my 20's. Dont forget 19's are stock this year on our cars.

 

g352nv: is your car lowered? and did you have to roll your fenders?

 

Yes tein H techs for a Z. No fender rolling here.

 

thanks man, that's good to know. is the ride quality still the same.....do you feel every little bump you go over?

 

I think the ride is perfect! It also passed the wife test,lol. Plus my camber is VERY close to stock.

 

if you don't mind, what's the width of your fr and back rims and also what type and size tires are you running in fr and back.

 

8.5 in the front with a two inch lip. 9.5 in the rear with a three and a half inch lip. Tires are nitto 245/35/20 275/30/20

I have 20's and coilovers, the ride is fine most people tell me it doesnt feel like its drop or that I have 20's on, but the ride can get rough on chopy roads (nyc to be specific), but I have no regrets going with 20's and a drop. im not sure where you live but if you live or drive through nyc often DO NOT go with 20's

 

thanks guys for all the comments. i think i'm going for it.

 

20's all the way and if you don't want to, you don't have to lower the car. it looks fine at the stock height.

 

Go with 20s - my G is at stock height with 20s.

I have 20 x10.5 rear and 20 x 8.5 front with 245/35/20 F and 275/30/20 rear and Tein Type Flex coilovers. I am happy to report no rubbing at all. If I go too much lower (see pic) I will need to roll fenders. Ride quality is pretty aggressive, but that is a result of the suspension. I hardly noticed the difference when I switched from stock 18's to the 20's.

damn, those 20" GT-C's are sick man! Now just do away with the BSM (body side moldings) and you're money!

I'm in the exact same boat - I love the look of 20's, but I want to be sure I'm not going to get sick of the "pimp" look - I'm keeping my stock 17's for autocross/track use, so my new set of wheels is going to be strickly for looks... I really love I-forged 20's, just don't know if I have the ***** to go through with it...
