20" wheels

greg135is · 10-22-2013, 12:01 AM

Hey guys, was wondering if anyone has put 20s under their 1m. Would like to gather some opinions. Thanks in advance!

I'd love too, purely for the ability to run a bigger 405mm brake upgrade, however I run 18''s as i find the 19''s compromise the handling so wouldnt fancy 20''s.

What sizes are you running? Staggered, offset ??

I ran 20" wheels on my car for a while with KW V3 suspension. What questions did you have?

Do you run them with the 40 profile tyres or have you changed them?I found them very comfortable but once I started going for it, they felt too squidgy, if that makes any sense

In my book, 19" is more than enough for the 1M (looks and ride comfort). And no, I don't like oversized watches either.

BBS CH-R 20" on AW 1M, only for the brave who don't need to regularly negotiate road bumps...

I wanna know the min/max offsets I can run with 9" f and 10" r

greg135is · 10-23-2013, 12:25 PM

Or if I run 9 1/2 all around what offset will I need. I want to be 5mm in from the fenders. I know this is to much to ask, this isn't tire rack or what not. But if anyone has an idea any input will be helpful.

Which 405mm brake upgrade?
I know you can fit 380mm brakes under certain 18s like Apex and Volks.

This guy has a 405mm brake kit for sale... and 20" BBS alloys..

JAN9- i find with the standard 18" ps2 tire set up, the tires and wheels work way better than the 19"s even when the 19"s have supersports fitted.
As for being "squishy" try runnin 295 30 19's-they go very squishy once warm..
