How do 20's ride?

Do they ruin the suspension over time that much. If I go 20 spinnys (clearly going for show only purposes) does that effect suspension alot? I mean I kno the zr rated tires are made better from like proxes and ****, but I mean will go either 35 or 40 series tire, will that be ok on 20's? Also does anyone have pic's of 20's with no drop to see if it needs to be lowered? I would imagine so but not much.......thanks

You feel the ride much more than stock. I haven't had any problems with suspension. The would look a better lowered. The only big issue is it slowed the car down somewhat. Does not pick up as fast as with stock rims, but at high end I don't think it is mcuh of a difference, at least it doesn't feel like it is.

Mys skins are 35 series. I am still doing some research on the drop, no sure how much I can go down. Take a look at my homepage and check it out.

I like the wheels but I definately think you should lower the car with some H&R springs and Tokico shocks. Take a look at my Maxima with my 18" my wheels look just as big as your 20" the drop will make them look better!!!

i've got 20's riding on 245/35/20...and the one thing i must do is lower the car...i already have maxspeeds but the overall diameter of the 20's lifted my car off the ground by an inch...my solution is to look for either coilovers or anothr brand of springs that can lower the car back down another inch....sorry no pics until spring/summer. as for the ride, i notice i pay alot more attention looking at the road, ! not too harsh tho, but there is a difference, I was actually suprised at the ride, very comfortable.

haha thats true big h, I would look at the road more too...we will see what happens, I kno a couple places that sell the 20's with tires that are 245/35/zr20's but would like to get a warranty on if the rims cracks ( spinning wheels ) I mean, not cuz of driver error but just because I am throwing the cash, but oh well if not. Sounds like there shouldnt be a problem with 20's just got to get a drop with it. No chamber kit is needed really? Thanks for the advice guys. Keep em coming
