20" Wheels

To those of you who changed to 20" wheels how do you like them? How is the ride quality? Would these be OK for a daily driver? Also for those that also leveled, any issues with rubbing? Thanks for any input.

What are you going to do with the old wheels if you buy the new ones?

Can't comment on running 20"s, but I can say that after swapping out from a 215/55R16 to a 225/40R18, the ride differance is noticable. It's not bad but you feel bumps more, especially bad spots in the road. I would imagine with 20"s you would need to run either a 30 or maybe a 35 series. Not much protection.

19 's are an option but 18's & 20's seem to be the more popular + sizes as evidenced by the availability of rims and tire selections.

20s would look the best but 19s would look just as good but with better ride .
