19" Wheels too small on G20?

truekumar · 09-11-2020, 02:35 AM

Here is a vehicle with 20s on and hasn’t been lowered. I’m looking at getting the same wheels. Do you think it needs to be lowered or not? I think the gap in the arches isn’t too bad.

Opinions please?

I'm choosing to keep 19"s because I like a bit more tire. I live in Maryland without very smooth roads (until I go to work in Northern Virginia.) I just posted pics on the Suspension Thread pushing the wheel/tires out using 12mm H&R spacers. I have also lowered my car using H&R Lowering Springs. The 19's fill the wheel wells nicely now!

Looks on-point IMHO. I wouldnt change it. If you're on the fence, spacers might bridge a little of the gap (or at least create the illusion of less gap). But you're pretty much splitting hairs at this point, and I'm not sure going lower will be additive to the overall aesthetic.

If you lower the car, the 19's are perfect

Yo, looks clean.
What are the specs on the rims and tire setup?
Also you lowered?

interesting thread, i bought some 19" wheels and i think they're too big!

wanting to go to 18"

For a daily, I chose to go with 18" with go flat tires and they have been amazing so far. 26K miles and I have plenty of thread left on the original Pirellis and the ride comfort is great.

If this was a toy / weekend car, I am in love with the 794M wheels but I would not even dream of driving with those on in Seattle roads.

I also really like the way the base 18" wheels look.

What size wheels and tires are you running? Offsets? Width?
