255/35/20 is the one you have? wow! i would love to see those pictures!!!!

 

please dear lord no....20's on corolla make stevie want to punch babies

 

20" are too big doesnt look nice, max 19" the car gets too high

but I dont get it, how to insert images, give me one of your mail and I can send it to you so you can put them in?

 

Imho

I've been down this road (no pun intended) when I had 19's on my 1st Gen xB...

1) The ride suffers big time - like riding cross-country in an 1800's wagon with wooden wheels must've been like.

2) The power and mileage suffer. Little four bangers don't have the torque to spin such heavy rim/tire combinations.

3) Rims and tires in this size are usually exponentially more than smaller set-ups. Moving up to 19's & 20's will cost alot more than, say, 17 to 18's.

4) You constantly have to scan the road ahead for potholes and other imperfections that might damage your rims or cut your thin sidewalls.

Save the big rims for show cars and motors with enough torque to spin them...

 

i would like to ask scathma... you said you have been down that road before. my question is... the tires and wheels that you have on the xb, were they the $5,000 plus per set or not? or are they the least expensive set that anyone can get? just asking because i wanna know if i need to save more.

I have Axis Mesh 2 rims and Pirelli P-Zero Nero tires. That weren't close to five grand... maybe half that?

 

Just got the pictures from the OP and uploaded them, here you guys go:

 

i like those big wheels and tires. i just cannot appreciate the black spokes on the wheels.

 

if i were to try low profile tires i would be buying the Nitto Invo tires.

 

They look damn good imo but im sure ride quality :thumbsdow.

 

they look pretty good.. not too bad..

 

I don't know how I feel about 20s on a Corolla...can you lower that even?

 

off roading time!!!

 

The fact that 20's will fit on the Corolla confirms for me that it is oversized wheel openings that make the standard wheels offered appear so small.

The slab sides of the Corolla create such a bare profile that the designers created the large wheel openings to break up all that plain surface.

Designers usually overcome such challenges with crease lines, moldings or painting the rockers black and other "tricks" to try to reduce the visual mass.

Owners try to visually compensate by lowering their Corollas, going to bigger wheels or adding the body side moldings.

I agree that the 20's visually balance the Corolla's appearance far better than 16's or 17's. I just wish that the handling, ride and mileage compromises with 20's weren't such significant considerations. Personally, I'll be going with 18's on 40-series tires as a sort of middle ground.

 

IMO, 20's will just slow a Corolla down even more.

 

No more than 17" on mine

 

Wow those are some big BIG wheels on a smaller car
