167 replicas come in 20"
I know, but I think the Miro 346's look perfect in 19".

The one wheel I would get in 20" possibly 21" If the offset was right for my xi and I had the money to burn, HRE P40's or the Vip Mod. VR08's

The 167 reps. in 20" look to big IMO.. and not as sporty!

I was actually thinking of swapping out my 20s and getting 15" gold 100 spoke daytons.

ride quality is almost identical. The profile sizes on 19"s is virtually the same , like mentioned earlier only diff is adding the 0.5 inch on each end.
Exactly. I ran 245/35/19 and 275/30/19 on my 19s. Now I run 245/35/20 and 275/30/20 on my 20s. There is absolutely no difference in ride comfort.

I went with 19s when I upgraded to the 166s. Although with my non-performance suspension, and though my 530 could easily have handled the 20s, I figured I'd need the extra opening in the well--as a psuedo-4x4--to traverse the monster potholes/ridges here in Minneapolis.

As e60insd said, those 166s look like they're 20s anyway.

What OEM 20s do you have???????
I have Radial Spoke 32s. 20x9 in the front and 20x10 in the rear. I've had a full car before and taken some bumps, and the wheels never rubbed once. Note, I also have not changed the stock sport suspension so this may attest to the fact I haven't had any rubbing issues. Tire sizes are as follows:

255/30/R20 front
295/25/R20 rear
Toyo Proxes 4

Well eastbound i-10 is complete in some areas, but for the most part its still under construction. 59 out by rosenberg is still under construction also, but its a lot better than what it once was. I think they said i-10 has been under construction for like 30 years.

here in the UK, having 20s is like a joke, the roads around Here london, south east even, are APPAULING, in fact my 20s i ahd before buckled in so many places in just 15 months, as the roads were just shambles, made worse by the utilities companies coming along and digging and making killer bumbs, even motorways are bad, with 1 foot pits on the M25.

STICK TO 19S Being the max. Unless maybe in the USA, were roads are smooth and have no corners, or so i heard........!
