Title: 20inch Alloys
Post by: Rustymv6 on 09 December 2009, 10:42:03

Hi I have put 20inch alloys on my omega and I am having trouble with tyre size. Has anybody put 20inch on theirs and what tyres did you use?

Get some pictures up, I run 19" with 235/35/19 (15 mil spacers) front and 255/35/19 rear (20 mil spacers) so its gotta be 30 profile to fit as its tight with 19's and 35..

I bet every hole in the road hurts like hell with those tyres. Hmm the suspension will also be a mess soon probably

Brakes look a bit puny now, well done for the 20's but if it was my car I'd have some that didn't have so much space between the spokes  :y

Nice Wheels Dude! :y :y
I'm on 19" of the same (in Black Though) - did they make them specially?

235/30/20 I guess would work - more alloy than Rubber (almost!)

How much Rim protection do you have on your tyres?
What rubber do you use?

running BF goodys got some 225 35 20s for £110 each. Surprisingly the ride is still great using a better tyre helps. Not much rim protection though. Have you got a pic of your's in black would be interesting to see.
