Default 20" wheels

Hey,
Has anyone experienced any difficulties with 20" wheels on an '04 350z Roadster?

Other than extra weight and a bigger strain on the brakes.

I have 20s that weigh about the same as my stock wheels (I have an 06) and have had no problems out of them so far. I like the way they fit the car and complete the curvature of the wheelwell better than the 18s and 19s imo.

I switched from 18s to 20s. No noticeable difference in ride or handling. Oh boy, they do improve the looks!
I say go for it!

+1...don't let people talk you out of it...its all about the looks and they really make no noticeable difference in performance...join the 20" army!

p.s....make sure you get a staggered setup (8.5" or wider in the front and 9.5" or wider in the rear)!!!...too many people now are getting thin a$$ tucked wheels in the front and rear!

Default 20's

I haven't noticed any problems with the 20's on my Roadster. I am lowered on eibach springs, had to roll the rear fenders a little but no big deal. I think my biggest problem is that I am always scared to curb them.
Oh, wheels are currently off the car(clear was pealing, so decided to paint the centers body-color)

only issue I have with my 20s is when I first got them it was tearing up the inner wheel plastics on the front but other then that they are fine.

Thumbs up 20"

Thanks for all the feedback regarding 20's.
I had a lot of doubts, but now I feel pretty comfortable about making the change from 18's to 20's.
All of you that have 20's, send some pic's my way.
Anyway.......
I'll post a picture once I get my 20's installed (this week).
Happy Holidays everyone!
