Just put on a set of Incubus 500's on my wifes Max, they look good on the car they are wrapped in Kuhmo 235/35/20's rubber. I have heard people complaining of road noise with 20's but I dont here anything any different then before?

Here is My personal opinion the Max looks best with a busy wheel IMHO, but it is like exhaust sounds example, I built a 32 Ford Roadster for my wife last year, Most people run Flowmasters on SBC, I went a different route because I dont like the sound of a flowmaster so I went with Magnaflow's. Its all about what you like, If you dig them go with them, Wheels are tough I went to Tire factory and used there virtual tire selector on the max and 4 hrs later I came up with what I felt looked best and that was the Incubus 500's. Give it a try and see what you thinkl!

Hehe, I see your HP Evos and although they are kick-*** wheels, I put too many miles on crappy streets to go with staggered 19s.

I sometimes have to drive as part of my job (sales) and that takes me everywhere. Often places I haven't been before so no forewarning of nasty potholes and such. 1 mistake is all it takes and I don't fancy changing a tire in a suit!

What series tire for 20s? 35 series?

Thanks!
