It's a bad, bad idea. The first itty bitty little bump or pothole you hit will decimate your rims.

How does that happen?

The bigger diameter wheel you have, the less rubber you're left with. The weight of the car and pressure stay constant. Do the math.

I'd suggest checkin in the local Cali forum there are a number of guys rolling on 20's who can provide you sum feedback!

Don't do it if you actually drive the car every day. It should be fine if you only take it to Soulja Boi concerts though

dude, if you have the sport package you already have a 35 sidewall. if you rocked some dubs, your overall diameter would be affected, plus get ready to dodge every imperfection the road. also the 20's will probably add a few pounds, which is going to affect your stop and go. not to mention the 20's will most likely give a rough ride. there is no rubber to absorb anything.
if you go 20's, they better be chrome with spinners
good luck though

I have 20"s on my vehicle with stock sports suspension and it rides good with no problems. Vehicle does feel heavier but looks good.

The 20s I'm looking at are 3 piece and I believe lighter then stocks. Would that help you think??? O ya I'm from the hood (9th ward New Orleans), but I don't do spinners tho........

20s are fine on stock suspension i have been on them for 3 months no problems and pot holes are no problem either...

Tommiexboi · 03-05-2009, 02:42 PM

i got 20's on mine... i suggest you not to do it unless your a extremely careful driver...

RYANBOZ7 · 03-05-2009, 02:58 PM

If you get 20's make sure they are of high quality and you should be fine as far as the roads.20's with a lip look alot better than non-lip 20's on the 335.Good luck!

mkmk13 · 03-07-2009, 03:58 AM
