20x9 front 38+ offset Falken FK452 235/30/20..20x10.5 rear 41+ offset..Falken 275/30/20
lowered on tanabe sustec pro 5s
My damper is set in the middle between stiff and soft
IMO, the ride is pretty smooth, of course you can feel a few more bumps here and there and I try to avoid more stuff now, but other than that, it pretty much still rides like a lexus. It kind of reminds me of an s2000.
I rub when i hit a big bump if i'm driving fast

I never did any mods on any of my fenders and barely rub up front with the new 245/30 falken 452. Its just the plastic fender lining wearing away but only when i turn in hard or brake hard.

Rides normal to me but i've always had a lowered car of some sort.

20x8.5 and 20x10 with 225/35 and 255/35

1.) Ride is good. I can't tell much difference from the stock 18"s.
2.) Rubbing in front slightly when I turn (just need to heat the liners and push them back a little more). In the rear over big bumps it will rub some. Even with rolled fenders due to the aggressive offset in back.
3.) 38 in front and 30 in back.

1. how is the ride?
- not to shabby, it might hurt sometimes but overall its still comfortable compared to some of my friends modded rides

2. are you rubbin? if so, why?
- yes in the front left @ huge dips and yes in the rear when 4 people in the car. Offset or tire size is wee bit too much in the front + lower left side on springs.

3. what is ur offset?
-unknown

4. Specs
- 20x8.5 / 10, 245/30, 285/25

If I could go back in time, I would go 19s because with 20s I can't do canyon running anymore

im running 20x8.5 and 20x10 i-forged daytonas with 245/30 275/30 toyo t1r's and there is no rubbing at all unless i go down a really steep dip or something as far as the ride goes its good on smooth roads but if u do alot of driving on bumpy roads then it gets pretty rough but i love the look of the 20's so i think overall its worth it
