Great looking car and great looking wheels. How do you like riding on 20s (handling, comfort, acceleration)?

Thanks guys. 275/35/20 all around. 40mm offset front and 24mm offset rear. Fits perfect, no rubbing. Ride honestly feels better than my 18's did. Smoother. Not sure about cornering yet as i havent railed on it yet. The 20's really make a better fit imo.

Not to hi-jack the thread but..

I had the 8" shorty and at speed on the highway I had a slight whistle from it. So, I twisted the ball off the stock one and cut it down level with the roof of the car. Then ground the end down a little and glued the ball back on. Looks factory and no wind noise...just an idea.

You sure did your research and homework in picking this wheel-tire combo.

Not a bad idea. for the price, I will probably just order (or look) one that way I dont ruin the stocker.
