20inch Alloys
« 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?

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.
