19"s or 20"s

[laborsmith]

I am habing a hard time imagining how a four cylinder engine, turbocharged and tuned, coujld be expected to handle the wight of a 19" or a 20" rim w/o sacrificing everything related to driveability.

Unless you intend to build a show car paying attention to the laws of physics may be in order.

My thoughts and now you are welcome to them!

I agree Turbosmith. I am just interested based on his setup being one of the few I have seen, although I do think it's a little much. right now I am leaning toward an 18x8.5 somewhere in the +40 range for offset wheel, although I think it may look a little funny with stock RS height. IDK maybe I'm wrong.

Since I have done them before on my RX8 and I can get them made to order I am thinking Forgestar F14's because of the unsprung weight savings with the 18" and high offset. I am a big believer in the amount of weight hanging off each corner making a difference in handling. Especially cars without a ton of power. Just my two cents. Here is the wheels and look I am liking through this drawing.
