toyapogi · 11-17-2006, 08:58 AM

is it safe to have 20 inch wheels for day to day city driving?

Good point Jinn.
I have hit a lot of potholes with the stock 17's that would have shattered 20's. It may not look as good to you but more rubber is safer for daily/city driving. Besides, 20's weigh a lot more and hurt you acceleration and mileage. If that matters to you.

I wouldn't recommend them for the reasons mentioned above. They are good for show, but stick with 17s or 18s max on the road.

17s or 18s should be perfect.. 20 would look good but first i would care about weight and milage :)

I had 20's on my last car driven daily.. It was ok it wasn't a honda but u just have to remember how heavy they are. If on a daily driven car your going to wear out your front ends parts alot sooner than with 17's or 18's.. I had 30,000 miles and my ball joints,tie rods and steering rack were shot.. Never again on a daily driven CAR i would on a truck.
