How much do the 20's slow down your car over 19's (or stock)? Is it noticeable?

I think 20's look way better, especially yours..

they don't slow down a car at all. Same diameter and same weight but bigger wheels. NICE! 20's fill the wheel wells nice!

is it possible to run a 35 sidewall all around with 20's? or do you have to run 30 in back and 35 up front? is it bad to have different tire sidewall heights? I want to get 20's but i dont know what trie setup to run??

Default the 35 in the front

all the shops didn't want to put 35 in the front because they said it would rub.

not sure if it would but they didn't want to risk it

not sure of the offsets, I'll find out soon as i can though

does having the differnt tire sizes change the traction control at all have you had any problems with the traction control due to the bigger wheels and differnt tire sizes?

I don't see how you can run the same all the way around. When you go that large your going to have to do 35 frt and 30 rear. You can't even tell the difference. This is needed in order to maintain the same speedo calibration. I have that set up on mine and works great, including vdc.

so the speedo and vdc works off of the rear tires? thats why you need the 35 sidewall in the rear? I am just trying to get everythign clear befor I drop 4k on 20s and tires.

The rear tire is wider, and that 30-35 number is a percentage of the width which is the sidewall size. So you want the rear tire to be a lower percentage of the width of the tire to stay even with the front. Overall, they are almost the exact same height.


245 * 35% = 85.75
285 * 30% = 85.5

So they are as close to the same height sidewall as possible.
