19's to 20's, yes or no
Discussion
Hey 
I'm on the fence as to whether I swap my 19inch wheels out for 20inch wheels. Exactly the same design just bigger. They are currently 10.5 and 9.5 widths which i would keep the same. The tyres would probably change from 295(R) and 265(F) to 305(R) and 265(F) at the same time just because I want the extra beefy width.
I know at the end of the day it's my call but I was curious what the general opinion is. Will it look too big? Will it be prone to damage? Will the ride be horrible? Will it look awesome?
Its being lowered 14 & 17mm on tein springs at the end of the month so nothing drastic but may make enough difference to make 20's not worth while.
Cheers

Do the 20s improve the ride and/or handling?
no, in some respects will worsen it. But, although I do "drive" the car it doesn't see the track and most certainly never would in the nice rims.toys said:
Leave it. Looks good as it is.
I would also question the benefit of lowered springs, unless combined with uprated dampers.
I very much toyed with the coilover option, back and foth a number of times but I decided it just wasn't going to be worth it for the way I use the car. It pains me to do it though as I'm the type of person who does it properly or not at all. The car is crying out to have the arch gap sorted though and a 17mm drop is quite tame on the zed I would also question the benefit of lowered springs, unless combined with uprated dampers.

No, no and thrice no ! Great cars, don't bugger about with them any more than Nissan intended, they're for driving not cosmetic-modding ! 
I don't really find it to be a drivers car as such, its more of a sports tourer.geeteeaye said:
Worst 'fishing for compliments on how the car looks at the moment' thread ever.
nope, its a serious question.I have the opportunity to swap the wheels for zero cost to me, hence asking. I was swaying to keep them as they are as 19's but with it being a FOC change I didnt want to just dismiss it.
Although it will definately have the lowering springs put on. They can always be taken off if it looks wrong but im hoping its a subtle drop as i dont want a slammed look.
