17s or 18s are better suited. 19s/20s look s**t.

i personally think 19's are the way to go.
They fill out the guards perfectly 20 too big and plus i think you will have isses with them.

I reckon 18s are the right size wheels for the EF/EL.
I loved the look of the 18" Koyas I had, filled it out so nicely. |

Just depends on the look your after if you want 20"s go for em...but that is starting to get quite big....ive seen a couple that look nice but unless u spend a nice figure on the suspension setup and guard rolling/flaring/pumping as well the ride comfort and handling is s**t house.

18s will have a much better ride than 19s or 20s

True...depends on what suspension setup he has tho....when I put my 19's on id already spent 2600 on my suspension and it rides and handles better than my mates mont with the stock suspension setup and 16" rims...also rides more comfortably than my XR8 with stock suspension and 17" rims.

18's are to small for me. so either 19's or 20's ill get. and my suspension is pretty good. its got koni adjustable shocks. kings springs. i just want something different. my cousin has 19's. i think 20's wouls be ok with skinny as tires so it looks like just rims. im not going to drive around on them all the time. thats what the 17's are for.

as already said, a bit of guard work is involved in fitting them on, apart from that I think the price is a little high, my mate has a workshop here in the A.C.T. that sells those a lot cheaper from memory - delivers Australia wide too.

so u are going to put 20" rims with skinny tyres? i dont think so a 20" rim will need a min of a 245 tyre i would say and then to drive around u are going to change from the 20" to 17"? all the time why not sell your 17's and go for a good set of 18"s just cuz ya fully sikc re coz has 19" dont mean u need to go bigger hell if thats the case get soem 22"

i didnt mean thin as in wide. they are 245's. i ment thin as in 245 25's or something like.
18's are s**t. i wouldnt even waste my money on them. if 18's are so good why does fpv put 19s on there cars? wouldnt that just be stupid? so 19's must be good in a way. you wouldnt get any tyre flex, from a 25 series tyre, which would mean better handling and grip on the road. and i dont want to get them just to beat my cousin. his 19's look small. 20's would fill out the guards a bit more.so b4 you come on here and start saying crap. i was only having my opinion. so you dont have to be a big guy and say stuff about my cousin. |
