New wheels - 20" inch

[JakeGreenland]

Anybody in here who have tried to throw some 20 inch rims on their PHEV?

I am going to buy some 245/40-20 tires with TPMS for my new 15´PHEV

I saw some pictures from japan, and thats was looking great! and got inspired

Looks are one thing, but I think you will regret the harsh ride that will result - low profile tyres and coilovers on a 4x4 ?? :shock:

Looks good but as stated ride will be noticeable worse however if you are going to do this then you really should go with coil overs and drop the hight so it doesn't look likes its on stilts and the wheels fill the arch gap.

I like the idea but modding like this is for the weekend car not for the everyday bumps and shunts.

Daily = comfortable and moderately quick but economic
weekend = uncomfortable and fast & loud

Looks like the exhaust wrecker on speed bumps that the local jobos drive over here, except that it is not 1994 Toyota "sports" car.
It really does not fit in with the utilitarian character of the car imo.

What size would then recommend that you run with ? want to run with a larger sized wheels on the car.

i could also use 235/45R19!?!

I suppose it all depends on the look you are aiming for .....

hehe - there will always be different opinions about this topic, I have found some that have put new wheels on and I did not think it looks wrong
Thats my opinion
