Default For those riding 20's

I posted this in the 3is section but I figured I'd get more hits here.

I'll be upgrading my wheels shortly but I can't decide if I want 19's or 20's.

I love the look of 20's but I'm a bit skeptical of the comfort and protection that a 30 series tire can provide for a daily driver.

I'm looking anyones opinion with real experience of these fitments.

I will be lowering it when springs come out but not looking to slam it.

If you don't plan on slamming you'll be fine. I was slammed and I drive fine minus slight rubbing cause of being so low. I was also on Hancook Ventud V12's 30 series.

ive seen many people with 20s and some are flush, some stick out of fender which means the offset is different and the tires specs..you need to look at that as well.

20's aren't bad but the weight of the wheel and the suspension you run might stiffen it up. its not unbearable though. the lighter the rim the less of a thud you will feel coming down off of bumps. ive driven like 15k on my 20's and no issues daily driving in construction zones where the road is full of dips and holes.
