I'm in Canada so duty and all that is a factor. I'd like to spend no more than 4-5 if possible but I don't know how possible that is.

 

Great thread - I am currently running 19's but thinking of 20's so this has been a fantastic resource. One question - have all of you also put in coilovers or lowering springs or are some of you running the 20's with stock suspension? Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated.

 

 

I have the Bilstein Damptronics coilovers on my 997 with 20" wheels. I ran the wheels with the stock suspension and then installed the the Damptronics a few months later. For my personal taste, coilovers (or lowering springs) is a must with the 20s. Car looked too lifted in my opinion. Was looking like a Macan. LOL

 

20's. (This wheel tire set FS)

As have a new 20 set up... See next pic

 

My new 20 set up...(caps w/Porsche great painted to match done soon)

 

Both set ups look fantastic. Have to ask, are these both run with the car lowered? As someone commented earlier, my biggest hesitation is not the purchase of the wheels, but that I'll make the car look like an SUV and gain addituonal weight.

 

The pic isn't that great but I have 20" HRE 597r. I lowered the car with PSS9.
Later this year I might get rid of the 20s for 19s. 20" wheels are not an enjoyable ride, even after 7yrs.

 

No sir. Car is stock ride height. 2005 c2s
20s ride great... Just get good wheels that are light weight is helpful.
Each set I have are less weight then most 19s.
Thanks for the positive comments...

 

Great to know stock set up on 20's looks this good! I agree weight is a concern. What is considered a reasonable range for 20's (front and rear)? Fuchs FP3's are 26 & 27 pounds, but run about $6,100 USD not including rubber.

I can get others which weigh about 5lbs more per wheel at about one third that price. Is early 30's a crazy heavy weight?

Any advice would be appreciated.

 

here are picture with 20" and 19" car is lowered with Eibach. With 20" fender gap does't look all that bad...will post picture when CV3 wheels are mounted again. Curious to see how car look with the wing.

With 20" fender gaps gains 5 mm both F&R.

 

Thanks for posting -- so just so I am crystal clear, the first pic (rims with yellow stripe) has 20's mounted, with stock suspension - correct? And yes -- the car and those wheels look terrific!

 

Thanks. I thought they looked great, but the ride quality suffered, and in my opinion, larger rotors would look much better. Sold the wheels, then ended up selling the car. I really wanted an "S", and have that now.

 

 

I've had 20's on H&R lowering springs and stock suspension for over 5 years w/o an issue. I recently moved back to 19"s for a change.
