19s or 20s Aftermarket Wheel Feedback

[SVT-DADDY]

Thanks SVT-DADDY. What's the widest you'd be able to run with the correct offset? Was thinking of x9.5 or x10 in the front and x10.5 in the back.

I have a set of 20x9 wrapped in 275/35/20 and 20x11 with 305/35/20 in the rear coming Saturday(thanks Paul). That's considered a pretty tame fitment, I could have pushed it a bit.

[MENTION=27078]Paul@PKAUTODESIGN[/MENTION] is a great resource when it comes to fitment on these cars.

I went 20x10 285/35/20 and 20x11 315/35/20 Also from Paul. Good fitment but by no means extreme either. I've seen some crazy setups on here requiring all kinds of additional suspension work just to fit them in

Thanks guys !

Having the same debate myself, 19's vs 20's. I will likely be going 19x10 / 20x10 front, 19x11 / 20x11 rears. I have yet to track the car, hopefully will get a few track sessions in but won't be a track car by any means. Mainly a street car with split DD duties.

I will be going lighter than my PP wheels so added weight is not a concern. Besides getting more precision in the corners with 19's vs 20's (something a track newbie like me likely wouldn't even be skilled enough to take advantage of so consider this a wash in my case), and the slightly less outward rotational mass with a 19 vs 20... what other compromises are there?

I haven't researched tire pricing yet, not a big concern but still plays a role. If I am giving up too much on performance for 20's I want to rule them out, any feedback is appreciated!

Also 3.73 gears so 20's could help the lower gearing IMO... small difference but still worth noting?

I have 20x10's in front and 20x11's in back +35 offset, with 285/35's in front and 315/35's in back. Continental Extreme Contact Sport's. I'm lowered on an Eibach Pro-Kit and I also have the 3.73's. I wanted to fill out the fender area more with the 20's and have zero problem with hauling*ss down the road. Handles exceptionally well in the corners and twisties.

 

[SVT-DADDY]

The choice is more a visual one. A good after market 20" wheel will weigh in the mids 20s, which may even be less than your PP wheels.

My 20" CF5Vs are around 15 lbs lighter than my factory foundry wheels.

Same sizing for me as well and I dropped about 13-14lbs per corner going from 18 gt pp1 wheels + 1" spacers to existing setup. She definitely feels more nimble and always eager to sprint

Agreed. Right there with ya. :cheers:

They will be lighter than the PP wheels or I wouldn't consider swapping them out. Seems like there aren't any real performance drawbacks from going 20" as long as the wheel is lighter.

Anyone have a reason why I should stick with 19's? Certainly more wheel options in my budget with 20's in the mix.

I appreciate all the feedback so far guys thank you!

19s or 20s, seems to be a well thought decision process for the majority. I personally went back and forth a few times. I ordered the 20s, and Mich4s setup, simply based on my application which is a weekend warrior. I don’t think you can go wrong with many of the options/setups that this forum has provided sharing knowledge.

19" BC Forged RS 31's. Crappy cell phone pics don''t do these wheels justice.
Like you said, hard too go wrong with most of these options!

I'm torn between 19 and 20s myself.

I like these two, anyone have them or experience with them?

I went through this also. Back in Dec. I put 19’s on the car and over the course of the next 3 months it never stopped bothering me how small they looked, especially the rears. 20’s are on order. An expensive mistake.

This is pretty much the same setup I'm looking to do. I'll have stock magneride suspension however. will 20x10 front and 20x11 fit fine with no need for supporting mods?

I carry these wheels actually and we have done both these setups they work great in 20 "
