Anyone have 20" aftermarket wheels on factory springs?

SVTFreak · Jan 5, 2015

If so, can you post a side pic? Thinking about putting niche Milan's on my LE but I don't want to lower it necessarily. Anyone have this setup with 265/35 and/or 285/35's on 20's? Also, factory 20" side photo would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

This is the stock setup. Stock wheels and suspention. Tires are 265-35-20. I personally think it looks good but think when these tires are worn out I will go with 265-40-20. It s only 4% larger diameter so shouldn't affect drivability at all and close the fender gap by a 1/2 inch. I think I d prefer that look over lowering the car an inch. I don't want my car looking like a low rider but more as a muscle car with small fender gap.

Man I love those factory wheels.

Is there an issue with factory springs and 20" wheels? I have the stock 18s, looking to get 20". Do I need new springs? Should I get new springs and lower it?

Thanks.

Nope. No issue at all. I just know what I want the car to look like if I do 20"s and wanna see one without springs to see how it sits is all.

The only concern with 20" is the tire you put on it. The 35" tire side wall is equivalent in diameter to the stock wheels so it does not take more space. 40" I have seen using the calculator is only 1" more in total tire diameter giving an additional 1/2" to the sidewalk. 265-40-20. i'm sure larger will fit in the wheel well but I think handling may start to suffer a bit. There s a useful web site called 1010tires.com that has a calculator where you could input your stock tire size and then the one u want to change to then it gives you all the measurement differences and even mph changes due to size change. It's very useful. You could also get advise from a rim shop. They will know how much larger you could go safely. I wouldn't go larger than 40" sidewall myself.

Fyi.. The ride is a little bit stiffer due to the small 35" side wall than the 18" wheels, but still rides great and takes corners a bit better. I think it's perfect. The stock suspention is great.

I'm on 20's with 265/35/20 all around. Not lowered... Might lower it this summer.

Thanks for the pics. That shows what I need to see. 20"s without springs looks good.

So, what wheels are you getting?

Those are awesome looking wheels. I have a Oxford Ecoboost with PP, so now i know silver wheels would look good on this color.
PS. He's parked in the handicapped spot. :(

None for now. I a very very very particular and haven't found the perfect one yet. Wheels got put on back burner for awhile.

I do not like 22" and larger on this (or any for that matter) car. Looks like wagon wheels.

Anyone have 20" aftermarket wheels on factory springs?
