lomoto Posted June 1, 2006 Posted June 1, 2006 Dont know which way to go with this Really like the idea of 20inch rims but dont know if they will affect the ride over my standard 18" rims What do you lot reckon ?? go safe with 19" ?? Quote
l33r0y Posted June 1, 2006 Posted June 1, 2006 19's will affect the ride, so 20's will be worse my friend... Most people go for 19's as they look 'right' - 20's look stoopid - unless you have the gold fronts Quote

Nick_MSM Posted June 2, 2006 Posted June 2, 2006 More than happy with my 19s, look big enough and haven't spoilt the ride at all IMO if anything it actually drives better than it did on the Rays. Quote
lomoto Posted June 2, 2006 Author Posted June 2, 2006 Yep.... ordered some 19",s now ... roll on next week Quote

Most people go for 19's as they look 'right' - 20's look stoopid - unless you have the gold fronts Just for the record I remember Grant (Kuro roadster) getting 20" Kahn RSVs which looked fantastic (even before it was lowered) and apparently didn't wreck the ride quality. I know they're very heavy before anyone pipes up! Quote
l33r0y Posted June 2, 2006 Posted June 2, 2006 One mans 'harsh' is another mans 'sporty' The fact is, the larger the wheel, the lower and stiffer the sidewall of the tyre, so the ride will be 'harsh' or 'sporty' depending on your preference. Quote
lomoto Posted June 2, 2006 Author Posted June 2, 2006 aspect ratio of 19" and 20" tyres are the same ;so there should be no perceivable difference in ride between them , 18" tyre aspect ratio is 45% so there will be a tangible difference them and the 19" or 20" with aspect ratio of 30% Quote

Most go for 275 on a 19 (rears obviously) Quote
