there is a reason people rap about 20 inch rims....because they look good and girls like them better than 18s

If i had to change I would say i'd go 19x11 in the rear and 19x10 in the front. I would put the sportline kit on the front but leave the prokit rear springs.

I have 20's and love them but I am just looking to go a little wider than 8.5 in the front. My car rides not that bad but it can't take bumps for ****. I am hoping when i change my blown shocks out it gets better.haha..

10 inches in the front!!! what kind of offset we talkin about here, its one thing to have the rears stickin half an inch outside the fender but the fronts would look dumb if they went past the fender

I have 20x9 up front and 20x10 out back. The ride is noticably crappier than stock (18's), but that's because I have almost NO sidewall on these.. I'm running 255/35's up front and 285/30's out back. I also don't like the way the rear looks, so I'm going to switch to 305/35 DR's when I roast off the ones I've got now. But yeah, with the size of the wheelwells on this car, it's like it was MADE for 20's.

As for loss of acceleration, I couldn't really say, I did the blower over the winter (wheels also over the winter), so.. LOL

Yeah, I noticed a rougher ride w/ the 20's ... but I was also expecting it. Going from the stock side walls to a MUCH smaller would certainly have it's effect.

However, I am extrememly glad I made the switch I get nothing but compliments on the wheels.
