Will 20's make my car sit higher?

engstah · 08-14-2015, 03:14 PM

Hi guys, needed some info on 20 inch wheels. I recently got a new bumper and Im sitting pretty low. I have base 18 inch wheels as of right now, but I want to make my car sit higher so I have better clearance. Will upgrading to 20 inch wheels make my car sit higher? Also can you guys give me the exact tire specs so I know what to buy? Thanks alot guys!

Flame suit on? As no one has answered I will be kind and not tear u a new one

. The answer is with proper sized tires no. You will have to run a lower profile tire. Plus rims,tire will cost and weigh more. They do look good though. Search button/ Google is your friend

What size tires you have on now?

kenchan · 09-16-2015, 03:47 PM

it's easy to do the calculation

width x profile (%) x 2 + 19" x 25.4 = total diameter in mm

Sport front tire: 245/40/19 would be: 245 x 0.40 x 2 + 19 x 25.4

use that to find the size and profile you want just change the 19" to 20".
