Rim help
Here's the deal i want to put some rims on my ride and i want them to be 20'.... is there a problem with getting rims 20' or bigger? i need some advice on this question becasue i have heard that putting 20' would wear out my tires super fast...
I would also like to see yall rims just so i can get some ideas... if you have 20s or bigger show those too..
THanks in advance for your input..

RE: Rim help
The problem with 20s and beyond is your gonna lose your ride quality..handling ..braking distance, as well as some ofyour gear ratio! youll feel every bump in the road and youll cry if you hit a pothole! If your goona go for it..go all the way with upgraded suspension, bigger brakes.. etc. big $$$ In the end most people i knowwish they had just stayed with 18s! FWIW

RE: Rim help
I have 20's and the only compliant until recently was side wall height and now they make them in 40 series for the back and it looks mean. I will get them at some point but the companies that have them are Nitto and Toyo! Others should chime in that actually have them! J

RE: Rim help
I have 20's and you can maintain the gear ratio fine by just getting the same height as the stockers are, a good shop or even some here can tell you what size you need to maintain the same tire/rim height as the stock ones are. My car isnt here in front of me or id tell you what size my tires are.
