20s are for slow cars only!

"R" in this case stands for radius, which depicts the diameter of the wheel. ie, 265/35ZR20. 265=tread width, 35=aspect ratio or sidewall height, Z= speed rating, in this case is 140mph+, R= Radius, 20= wheel diameter.

"Z" ratings are 149 mph + (not that there's much difference at that speed)

I thought that getting 20's would be going to big as well, but then i thought about it, im not a freakin race car driver, ive never been to the track and ill prolly never go, im also not gettting paid to have the fastest car, and im not going to have the fastest car..... but i believe even with the 20s i can still whoop just about anythings *** i see on the street, and the biggers rims are just more motivation to get forced induction to push em'....but i choose to go big bcuz they look f****** awesome in my opinion, now i just have to get it lowered a inch and a half or so as well...

and why would you want to rotate your tires, bcuz you back ones will wear faster then the front, so you try and max out the life of all four of them???
