New 20's... Something a little different
I know this style/look isn't for everyone, but I like the tuck and the style.
Also important to me was it did not cost an arm and a leg. The stock 18's were just not up to my driving style and I wasn't thrilled with the looks of them either. Very happy with this setup from Tire Rack. 245-35-20 Hankook Ventus V12 evo. Sport Edition KV5 20x8.5, 45mm offset. All 4 the same, so I can rotate. Tanabe NF210 on front only. Stock Journey rear. No other suspension changes or adjustments. I think this is a good example of what can be done on nearly stock ride height and still have a nice look (tucked rather than lowered). . http://pob3.com/20g37/IMG_1505s.JPG |
Not my cup of tea but whatever floats your boat :D

Front end looks good.
Maybe space the back out 10mm? |

Yeah, I figured if I decide in the future I want a little more flush, I can always add spacers. My taste is a little more old-school, you could say.
Also I drive the car kinda hard and did not want to have to worry. I think the more spaced-out they are, the lower it needs to go, to avoid SUV look. So this is my compromise, balancing $ and practicality. |
Too plain for me but glad you're satisfied with it.
|
for that you should have just left it stock...

If you ever plan on selling it, head over to Maxima.org -- this will sell lickety split. Too bad TireRack never developed other offsets and sizes for this style, or i'd be all over it. |
I think it looks nice! It sure is a clean set up.
|
At a quick glance, kinda looks like an Altima coupe. They have almost the same exact rims
|
They look ok. How do you like them
|
there nice for a winter setup
|
I like it how is the ride..?
This is a Journey not an X Coupe... correct..? |

So this is my compromise, balancing $ and practicality. 1. Less sidewall, you're going to have a less comfortable ride 2. Less grip, you've downgraded your rear sizing to narrower wheels/tires 3. Heavier setup, you've lost acceleration since your unsprung weight has increased 4. Less reliability, you're far more likely to damage a rim or pop a bead with skinny sidewalls like you've got. |
