most guys here with 20's, have no issue and maybe lil rubbin,, but as far as ride, shouldnt be any differetn on bumps than ur factory wheels,, unless ur rolin tiny blade low pro tires,,lol

i have ls sport with 17 fact wheels, and i feel the bumps hard,,lol has more to do whith the sport suspention than the wheel choice,, i think.

The lower the profile the more you are going to feel. Guys are putting 20's on their cars and running 35 profile tires basically just so they fit with little or no tire rub. Looks good but the ride is somewhat that of Lance Armstrong's race bike! Personally Im thinking 18's with a 45 profile. Man I remember when 50's were considered low profile! All 3 of my Mustangs came with 60's.

How high can you go for a tire profile with 19" rims?
