Default Wanting 20" rims for my awd

could use some opinions/ tips. I want 20" rims but do I have to lower my car for it to look better which I know it will but the question is do I have to? Are there any pics with 20" rims of anyone's cars that have not lowered it and still looks decent???

It still kind of sits high... I would lower it if I were you. Here is mine and I am considering selling my wheels

How much did ride comfort suffer?

I can't tell a difference honestly. Roads in VA are pretty good. I would say lowering the car has made it a bit stiffer, which is what I was going for.

Looks great man, I have a feeling I'll end up lowering it too. So is that lowered? Got confused from your other comment. How is it in snow? I'm in PA so I was wondering that too

Where'd you buy that front lip? Is that a whole kit or just the lip?

I would recommend that you lower it. I have the RSR coilover kit on mine and absolutely love it. The car grips the road more and it has 36 way dampening so you can adjust the stiffness to your liking. Also, you can set the drop to whatever your preference is and not wear out your shocks like with springs. Definitely more expensive but so worth it. I've dropped it over 2" and haven't had any problems with speed bumps or snow. I'm in MA so I'm in the same boat as you. The wheels will look 1000 times better lowered.
