19" vs 20"
Hey I'm fairly new to the forum and this is my first post so hopefully it's in the right spot and not been asked too many times before.
Anyways I'm looking at getting aftermarket wheels in the next few months and am curious on how big of a difference 20" wheels make in performance aspects. I'm assuming you lose some power but is it a significant amount or not enough to notice a difference? Has anybody put their Z on a dyno with 19s and 20s to see the difference? |

Welcome to the Forum!
They will likely be heavier but you probably wouldn't notice much with daily driving. What you will notice is that tires will be harder to find in the right sizes and will be more expensive. This is the reason I went down to 18s

 I was dead set on getting a set of 20s as they look great on our cars, but then I went looking for tires.

it all depends on the gross weight of the wheels and the tires for braking/handling/acceleration in that order.
width and offset for stability and handing. GL with your search |
