Didnt know that this was a tech only forum??? I am going with 20s but I am putting sticking track tires on the factory wheels for the track. best of both worldsM1Rifle said:Judging from this thread, it looks like this is a fashion question, not a performance one, right? Because only one person mentioned unsprung weight, and not one person chimed in about handling.
Maybe this should be in the Exterior Modifications forum? I don't see any Tech in the question... ?

Or maybe it was the fact that we have a S197 Exterior/Interior Modifications - Styling, Accessories, Audio, etc. forum that gave me that impression. Call me nuts, but this is a style discussion.
I ~wish~ there were more technical discussions about giant low profile tires. I've never run anything tighter than a 45 series on any car I've owned, so I want to learn. Each and every suspension implementation has a different sweet spot. Put a wide 45 series tire on a tall wheel on an otherwise stock 65 mustang, and you're going to have horrible handling. Too much camber change. Start doing mods to the front suspension, and now you can benefit from 50's.
Same goes for modern vehicles. 19's and 20's scream "PERFORMANCE" due to their looks, but 98% of the vehicle runnign 20's out there would perform better on 17's or 18's with an appropriate tire. People have traded away function for the form. May as well start making doll houses.

celticstanger said:yeah of course. since the rubber's what's in contact with the road, I was implying (though didn't state) that the big rim on the rear had a respectively larger tire.
245/35 front and 275/35 rear.

i agree... i i have decided to go with 18's for a number of reasons. as I stated in another post now i am looking for halibrand type wheels in 18/9, 18/10. As for the color of that car, i understand it to be titanium and it is going to be avail. in 06. I thought about cxling my order and waiting til 06...but what the hell.426H said:That color and those wheels is exactly what I would have ordered if it only would've been availible!
20's? Too much for me...
