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).

Not my cup of tea but whatever floats your boat :D

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

Dude the first sentence of his post said he likes the tuck. Cmon read...

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...

I like it. The KV5's are one of my all-time favorite wheel designs. It's patterned after the Mille Miglia's of the same design.

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

bluedevils95 09-04-2012 03:15 PM

They look ok. How do you like them

Sunny G 09-04-2012 06:23 PM

there nice for a winter setup

rhdh104 06-16-2014 11:18 AM

I like it how is the ride..?

This is a Journey not an X Coupe... correct..?

Why would you put 20" wheels on a car if you drive it hard? I applaud your choice to avoid using spacers and to size the tires correctly for that setup, but you've done several things by changing to this setup.

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.
