I've dreamed of putting chrome 20s as most of the ideal styles I like only start at the 20 inch size but have been very reluctant because of the problems mentioned above (comfort of ride, steering, brakes, cops, insurance)
I think 20's will kill the car's handling/performance unless you do some serious mods to make them fit comfortably.
by bus i ment the car has the same clearance.. handleing wize i have not really had a chance to test it because of massive scrubbing... its gettin put on coilover's.. just waiting for a few places to get back to me on avalabilty .. i dont care what type i just need them asap... they make the car a bit slower... but not much... handling.. i think will inprove once i get it all set up nicely... but it does not really matter lol its just gettin done a show car really...
the rims are Status Dynasity 20x8.5
Yes i did have 15/65 on there before lol
amurray - being 8.5 wide do the rims scrub on the strut tower? i was gonna get 20's but after doing some measurements i thought the tyre or will if i slammed it would rub on the strut - so i decided to get coilovers before rims.
Maybe thats wat the guys with the bodykit need. a lift kit or 20'' so the thing wont scrape against curbs and driveways :P
aren't coilevers just adjustable springs? Isn't it gonna look crap with all that gap if you increase the height too much?
i guess you could call coilovers adjustable springs - but they replace the entire strut/spring package - the standard ones are pretty wide where as a coilover is alot thinner meaning you can have a wider tyre/rim fitted.
once i have my coilovers i dont plan on being high and on 20's - even if it requires a hammer and angle grinder lol
it only scrubs on the guard.. there is heaps of room between the strut and the tyre... the coilovers have alot of adjustment.. so that u can sqweeze it into the guards lol.. they are also hight adjustable.. and will limmit movement so the tyre will not bottom out
