V6 - Saving up for Mods, got some questions.

[MarkDMKC1974]

20s or 19s. This is a long going debate within the community. For me i have been at it since it was the 18s vs 20s...cause 19s were not a common option and quite expensive. In the end it all depends on goals. 18s for the track or daily driver with best road feel. 19s for the daily driver all around performer. 20s for looks. However, the one thing that can change the argument between 19s and 20s. If the 20s are a light weight rim and combined with tire weight are close, and in some cases lighter than stock 18s, your not going to lose performance, but you definitely will feel a difference in handling and road driving. Not crazy, but it wont feel as nimble. 19s are just that nice middle ground and look great too. Personally, i wouldn't be afraid of the 20s if they 25lbs and a good quality rim. 20s look amazing on our ride. The other advantage 20s offer is tire prices are cheaper and there are more options and availability. Also, don't stagger your wheel sizes if it's a daily driver. You will want to rotate to extend tire life. Last piece of advice. Shop for your own tires. Buy the rims and find your own deal on tires. You will find a better deal. Though I get the impluse to get the complete balanced package with included tire senors. I also say this cause it seems you will go 19 and if you go 19s then 275 40 is the tire you want. The 285 35 option is fine and they are wide, but the 275 40 with the bigger sidewall and plenty of width for road contact is perfect for filling out the wheel well, providing driving performance, and making those 19s look perfect with a 1-1.5 inch drop after new springs. If you go 20s the 275 35 are a good pick or 285 35 on the 10inch width rim. My two cents.

• (4) 20x10 S350 Wheels
• (2) 275/35/20 Tires
• (2) 305/30/20 Tires
• (1) Spline Drive Lug Nut Kit
• (4) TPMS Sensors

This is there 20x10 package. I see that the tires are like 100 dollars cheaper for 285/35/20 tires. Not only that, but there 20x10 package is almost 300 dollars cheaper.

Yeah the non staggered is the way to go. You don't want big, huge, wide tires on the v6. They dont feel right. Again though i recommend u shop for your own tires. I wish the S350s 19x10s were the price of the 20s. I would love to pair those with some 275 40 Firehawks

My wife just had to talk me out of buying the 20s. I just think the price is so good lol. She was like you got three sets already on a car that's not even with you, lol.

20x10's - Just the wheels. Going to get some Michelin AS 3+ I think. Not 100%, but theres a good tire joint right near my house.

Dude those wheels will look great paired with some lowering springs. U may want to order a set of senors while your at it. Tires shopping is its own animal now lol.

I called the tire place near me they said they had all that, and with the purchase of 4 tires I get free install and all that.

Just ordered a set of the 19x10 S350. It took me over two years to finally buy new wheels.

Also odd is that the 11-14 S350s were cheaper than the 15-16 S350s. According to all the data they are one and the same.

The the LMR discount code works btw. Took off an additional 6% off.

Awesome. We expect both of you check back with pics of the mounted wheels. It's fun to watch others mod while not costing us a dime.

I mean, while you're at it if you're doing springs you may as well upgrade the shocks and struts too, throw in some cradle lockouts while its lowered for the springs, upgrade the front brake caliper/rotor/pad while the wheels are already off too. It's also a lot easier to take the front bumper off with the wheels off so swap that out and upgrade the turn signals too...if you don't have a wife to get mad at you for all that, your wallet or parents will!

So did you order the 11-14s since they were cheaper and the specs matched?

Edit: They sure do match and they even are the same part # and $100 dolllar difference between the year groups....strange.

I bought the 11-14s. I'm guessing someone made a mistake.

Sorry to spam the thread. Will 275/40r19 work fine with the SVE S350s? I see it has an offset of +40mm. Will that casue rubbing with the tire size?
