Downsizing 22" to 20"

Jars914 · 08-04-2020, 10:41 AM

This is my third summer running my 22" aftermarket 612m style rims. Really considering going to 20" on my next set, i love the look of the 22's, but i think i would like some more tire for ride quality. Im really digging these rohanas, plus id like to switch up from black as well. Just wondering if anyone has pics of their 20 inch set ups.

Considering these wit some nice continentals

Hey Jars sorry if a bit off topic I’m looking to go up to 21s from 19 (19s are the largest set of wheels I’ve had on my rides). Any reason why you’re not looking at 21s? Is the ride quality similar on 21 and 22s?

Not off topic at all, ive definitely considered 21s, i really think 21 ans 22s look best. I even have a few sets 21s saved on ebay lol i just would really like to feel the difference with more rubber underneath me, and im guessing 22 to 21 isnt gonna be substantially different. They also say tires are more expensive for the 21s, also in regard to tires i have pirelli scorpions non run flats and im not a huge fan of them, would like to get continental sports if i go 20 inches ive heard great reviews, continentals in 22s are like 500 a pop hahah

21 inch tires are definitely more expensive than 20 inch tires. But to me the more important thing is there are many more options in the 20 inch sizes.

FWIW, I run the 2 sets below and the 21's ride/sound/feel the same as the 20's to me, in regards to road noise, comfort, and livability.

OEM 469M (20")/Michelin Alpin PA4
OEM 599M (21")/Michelin PSS
