Fitting 20" wheels to a V8V...

[notax]

I am currently in the market for a V8V Roadster and have noticed that a lot of the cars look as though they are riding high or would benefit from slightly larger wheels (mind you I am used to my XKR which is on 20" rims...) I was impressed by the ride quality of my previous V8V coupe and wondered how big an impact running 20" wheels would have?

Any piccies with cars running 20" aftermarket wheels appreciated

Go to 6SpeedOnline. Plenty of threads and pics of this already discussed numerous times.

Here you go..... 20" wheels and lowered 20mm, rides fine a little bit harder than standard but then to be expected.
I also think the standard car sits too high with way too much room between the arch and the wheel.

How about 21 inch?

Burntout's car looks so awesome and menacing!

..... Maybe a set of N400 sills would maybe look ok on mine after all???

[stevewushu]

This is kinda the look I'm going for.
Got the sills. Done the lights.
That's why I'm picking your brains about the big shoes and springs
