Questions: Rims for 07 LE?

[ayedub]

I am curious what the best size of rims I should buy? I dont know much about rims but I could use some help... I know I want 20s but should it be 20x8, 20x8.5 or what? I want the best ride.

are you going to lower your car?
20x8.5 with 245/35/20 tires. that's what lammydi used to have on his ride.
sadly, 20s and "best ride" in terms of comfort are never going to meet. if you want comfort go for the 18s. you want looks, you have to pay the price of a stiffer ride.

20x8.5 seems good.

The difference between 8.5 and 8.0 is that 8.5 will give you a larger contact patch & better grip.

If you want the best ride quality then I suggest you chose a smaller rim diameter.

I don't want the rims to stick out or the wheel well. will 8.5 be ok?

Depends on the offset of the wheels.

The best place to start is by educating yourself.

Go on google and search for: Rim width diameter offset

Here is an example: www.alloyguide.com

or you can also search the boards as there have been numerous threads covering this topic.
try searching for "wheel offsets and tire calculator" or something similar to that

sorry to thread jack, I'm interested in some rota g-forces... so I'd get the one made for the evo since it has a bigger bore... but...

the specs are 18x8 et 30mm that would make em stick out too much? damn... I wish they came with 35mm offsets...

it wont look like its sticking out except to a highly trained eye (moky!) i saw someone on this board that had like a 15 offset and it was barely noticeable

the only problem you might have is with lowering and how low you might go
