After all the talk about daily driving with 22' vs 20' I will be going that route due to it being pratical for me. I love how 22's look but my 460 is not a Garage Queen nor show car she is my daily, and 22's are out. I like the look of the 20's lowerd, it makes them look bigger once you bring the car down.

that looks great, but are you 100% sure there 20's?

the tire sidewall looks real thin and the wheel looks huge like a 22....

if its a 20, i say wow.

Here are the specs...

Suspension: Aragosta Coilovers

Wheels: Junction Produce Heritage III wheels


Front: 20x9.5 +27
Rear: 20x10.5 +26

Tires: Dunlop
Front: 245/35/20
Rear: 255/35/20

21' wheels would be perfect balance but the tire selection sux and are pricey due tho the odd #, again 20's wiith a drop is a respectable enuff compromise I can live with for daily driving.

I don't know, also this is not my 460, I'm just going to model mine after it. It has been in my photo folder for reference for a long time, I was sharing b/c the OP requested some pics of this type set-up.

You can go with springs too, not all 460's come with air suspensions and the SWB in posted here was non air suspension.
