I just bought 20's with 255/35/20 and 275/35/20. Eibach prokit, d-spec which will take care of the ride quality. 20's just look normal on the S197s.

Ive got 275 in the rear and 245 in the front and 19 " wheels, The wheels I have are extremely light aswell, lighter than stock. It all depends on what you are going after. chrome is the enemy of hp, chrome is very heavy.

I have 20" Foose wheels on my 08 GT and they ride great and I don't notice any lose of power. Maybe just me but I really like them.

I got 20" foose hornets and they look amazing on our cars, but I must admit you can feel the difference over the stock rims. I have a turbo on my car making 440 rwhp and 465 rwtq and can tell a slight difference. Probably 20 rwhp is what most say.

20's def slow you down.

Best with 20s = 13.9

With 17s = 13.2

I like my 20s for the street but sometimes it is a little rough with the 35 side wall I think after the DR go on it will help alot .
