20inch rims on a euro

[imprezu]

hey guys i was thinking of gettin 20 inch rims on my euro 05 model. but i wanted to get peoples opinion on em...would it make the ride less comfy? and would i have to rolls the guards and so on? I still have the stock ride height and havent lowerd the car or anything yet..

IMO 20 inch rims would look sh*t, but that's just what I think, and they will lower the performance of the car (which may or may not be important to you). It's just personal preference. If the car isn't lowered then they should fit ok without scrubbing depending on the width and offset of the wheel. If you do lower the car, it will depend on how low you go as to whether you need guard work or not and whether you upgrade to adjustable camber arms or not.

im currently driving a family members car on 20 inch low profiles, it has leather seats and it was stock ride height, i didnt find no discomfort but alot of road noise, possibly from the tyres when just driving in gear 1. that was the only annoying thing as the drone was quite loud. but no issues with turning or handling.

You can have tasteful rims at 18/19 and abit of negative camber.

hey ozstriker and xjm thanks for the reply. Yeh i was thinkin that 20s would have negative effects on perfermance...i had another idea which was getting 18s and dropping it where the wheels are just above the guard

You'll find the road noise will be due to a combination of the large wheel size and weight of the wheel and the smaller profile of the tyre's side wall. Is the road noise in first gear apparent when your driving normally/sedately? or when your hitting vtec? lol because if your getting bad road noise from your tyres it won't usually only be in first gear, it will be in multible situations.

IMO i wouldn't go any bigger than an 18 inch wheel on a Euro because i think going anything bigger makes the car look out of proportion and i'm a performance based car enthusiast too, but this is just my opinion. If you like 20 inch wheels then get them, it's up to you. One thing i will say is if you do decide to lower the car do it properly and right the first time, don't cheap out because you will regret it. If you cant afford a decent piece of kit straight away, save until you can so that your happy with the results

u need work t1s. then 20's are ok

[honda_zivic]

20s will fit euro, just need guards rolled. ride quality will be abit more bumpy but not much,
also suggest u get full coilovers kit.

yeah its a mind fck dealing with this...ive made up my mind and getin coilovers first than getin 20s later lol..thanks for the help

[imprezu]
