    20 will give you a really bad ride. I really advise against it. You will fill like the whole car rattles and follows every crack on the tarmac

    Comming from someone that runs 20s year round, the ride is a lot better in my opinion. True you do give up little shock absorbtion but the handleing is soooooooo much better. I run 20x9 with a +10mm offset and 275/45/20 tires. As for your ? If you get a higher offset wheel like a +20 to +30mm you will probibly clear the cladding just fine. I had to trim my fender lips just a little to clear mine but nothing major.

    Well....I'm planning on 20s with a nice soft road tire. Perhaps down the road I'm thinking about softer shocks. I can't say the stock ride is all that soft, especially in south Florida with all the construction.

    Also not to hijack this thread, but "Catch77" was that you that I saw with a surf board on your roof rack waiting at the intercoastal bridge in Dania Beach last weekend?

    I have to disagree. I run 20's in the spring and here in RI where the street and highways are kind of crappy the VX rides smooth. To me it actually rides better than the factory 16's. It could be cuz I run a 275/55/20.

    Catch77 it really depends on the size of the tire if you run a 295/45/20 then you don't have to trim of much, very little at best.
