Apex VS-5RS 20 x 9 et50 | 20 x 12 et47 | 5mm spacers in back
Toyo Proxes Sport 255/30 | 345/25
Eibach | DSC Controller
Ride quality is no different compared to OE Turbo wheels. Wish the car was a 1/2" lower.

Work 20" VS KF, 12" and 9", 325 and 245, stock suspension. I am constantly amazed how these stick on corners compared to the stock tire sizes. But I do notice (mainly when running logs) a slight decrease in acceleration. Ride is the same. Wouldn't race with them but I like the look.

I had 20in Rohana wheels that came with my Turbo when I bought it. Those were the heaviest MFers I've ever held in my life, would not recommend in terms of just unsprung weight you'll be adding to your car...
Ended up on these 18in Advans while I wait for my 19in E88s to show up.
Road comfort significantly improved with the smaller wheels / thicker tires as well. The 20in wheel only allows for very thin tire profiles which can run pretty stiff (but that also depends on the tire). Would highly recommend going 19s unless you really can't resist big 20s lol

I had 20s on mine for a little bit, I just couldn't fall in love with them because the ride quality and road noise was hard to get used to and I'm on Tractive DSC suspension.
BEFORE
sold my 20s and went with 19s

I can get on board with 20s. But want a little more tire. Would go 20x9 235/35/20 and 20x12 305/30/20. 235/35/20 would be very tight up front, but I think the stretch on a 9" wide wheel would give a little more room. Similar with a 305/30 on 12" rears
Ran 20x8.5 235/35/20 and 20x11 295/30/20 on my old S and thought it was pretty sporty.
