Default Ride Quality

Does putting 20 inch deep dish rims sacrafice ride quality? If so, can this be taken care of with after market spring assemblies, shocks, and sway bars?

The less rubber between the rim and the ground will result in less ride comfort. Lowering springs will just exacerbate the deal. Hang on!

<====Thinks you just started an 18 vs. 20 war...lol

Anyway, as an owner of 20's in Metropolitan NY, I would say that the ride quality does not suffer THAT MUCH. Do you notice bumps more? Yep, but IT IS NOT that much of a difference. Some people have the tokico D-Specs dampners and when they are set to full soft, the ride will be real good. 20's aren't for racing but are fine for the street. My perspective of 20's..."They are NOT a performance mod, BUT they do perform well".

My $.02

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!! So does 18's vs. 15's. Have you noticed that trucks are now coming with 20 inch rims from the factory? Crazy!
