Default Curious about 20' Wheels

Hello everyone,

I am in the forum of the second generation of GS and I am about to purchase one of these CT200h F 2015 for $19,500.00 with one 21,000 miles on it. Black on Black same a my GS. My question is, I can put wheels or rims size 20 to this vehicle or are too heavy? Also, there's someone with wheels or rings size 20 in this forum that I can see?
Thanks guys

The thing to keep in mind is the wheel wells are smaller than a gs so it would be a really snug fit. I'm really interested to see how it would look however. You would have to be running extremely low profile tires but if that's the look your going for it would be worth it.

I personally think 19" is the perfect size for the car... I'm running 18" but I have 40mm rubber... I wish I went lower profile and bigger rims, keeping the outside wheel diameter the same. Right now my outside wheel diameter is 1" largest than stock and it fills out the wheel wells allot better. I'm running 245 40 r18.

The other thing I wish is that I got more offer on my rear wheels. I put 20mm spacers on the rear and it looks allot better but it would have been ideal to have ordered my rims that way.

For some reason this post reminded me of the guy that put 19" Vossens on his CT (thread here). After seeing these pics, I think you would see that 19" is perfect for filling the CT wheel well and that 20" would probably be overkill.

Also if you check out the Five Axis CT (
), they put 19's on as well.

@SteveMason, why didn't we put 19's on our CTs!?! lol

First, Thank you guys for the information.
Second, to Steve Mason.... Any picture or pictures about your 20mm rear spacers and where I can buy? I think I need to buy 20mm 5x100 right?
Again, Thanks for all the info guys.

I found this website. rimspacer.com

Also, for the front wheels I can use 15mm right?
Thanks again.

Before you buy spacers, the question would be, do you intend on using your stock wheels and are you lowering the car or not. If you are getting aftermarket wheels, just get them in the offset you want, instead of using spacers.

Thanks,
First, No... I not want to use my stock wheels.
Second, Is 90% that I lowering like my GS300. Tires flush on fenders.
Third, I no see any guy here witj pictures with 20" wheels on the ct200 get. Maybe I not seach enough to found it.
Fourth, What would be correct offset for this ct200? Because from what I've read, the original rims are 40 offset. That is the correct offset or not.
Thanks again for answer my question.

I thought the offset on the stock OEM wheels was +45
