Get 19's................. tyres are cheaper........

I have;

Front - 20 x 8.5" running 245/30-20 Yoko Advans

Rear - 20 x 9.5" running 275/35-20 Toyo Proxes T1-R

The fronts are standard rolling diameter, the rears with these tyres are out about 4% (they read 4km/h lower than what you are actually doing). However, I have checked it with a GPS - my speedo is now spot-on accurate. From factory, our things are actually doing around 96km/h at 100 so mine is now accurate.

I have standard suspension all round. I had to roll my guards at the rear and the 275's are still scraping around high-load or bumpy corners. It sits up a little more at the rear given the bigger diameter but to me, it actually looks quite good and not really that noticeable. It would be better to bring it down a little at the rear (beware the tyre scrape if you do and extra loading on your CV's for those with big power) - it may actually help to reduce the diagonal pitching that it has now from factory - replace to better shocks would help too.

The ride is a little rougher but my biggest concern is having no sidewall on the fronts (be very careful!) and having to run around 40psi does nothing to help ride comfort.

hey guys I dont have a phoon as such but I do have the ute version..... the tornado and just recently put 20's on it and even managed 2 get 295's under the rear's. ride quality was about the same I had the standard phoon 18's b4. and now ive changed the suspension set up aswell, put bilstien coilovers on the front n dropped it a lil bit. and now its alot firmer but still comfortable.

Anyone who has large rims and is complaining about ride comfort should try the tein setup with the EDFC ...

I'm looking for some 19" and will provide some feedback ...
