I have been struggling with this. I was thinging of ordering the car with the 19s and using them for winter and getting a set of 20s (probably HREs) for summer. Probelm is you are now left with a set of 19 inch summer tires. Also, then you have staggered 19s and I would rather not have staggard widths for winter.
I don't love any of the stock 20s unfortunately so I don't think I would get the 20's with the car and then buy the 19 winter package. I was thinking about getting the 20's using them for the season and then treating myself to the HREs just as the newness of the car is wearing off. I would then shod the 20s with winter rubber. My concern is whether there will be a significant winter perfomance difference between the 20s and the 19s. Any thoughts - preferable based on experience?

20" wheels are good. The Pirelli winters are crap in comparison. http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-video/s...nter-tyre-test

19" winter will give you a bit more sidewall and softer ride, which would be beneficial with all those potholes/rough roads.
Actually, I always prefer 19" (all around) than 20"+ due to the harshness of ride. But then, 20"+ does look amazing. At the end of the day, it's all about personal taste & preference. btw, most of us in the forum uses 19" factory package set. |

They're 20x9 and comes with two offsets, ET32 for the front and ET25 for the rear.
There's also a 19" version, the 408M, same width and offsets.

Just curious if you mounted the 20's yet? I ordered some 20x8.5 ET20 with 255/35/20 tires, and I was curious if the offset would be an issue. I'm running 18's with 30 offset now, and I don't have any issues, but I wasn't sure about a 20 offset.
Thanks! |
