I've read endless posts regarding tires and wheels but have had a little bit of trouble tracking down some information specifically geared towards those with 20" wheels. Many of you that have already rid your vehicles of it's factory rims and tires for some beautiful after market 20s and 22s. A good friend of mine had mentioned that it would be a waste of money to spend for 20s if you're trying to fill some of the fender well gap and get an overall larger wheel look. After much research, for those of you that don't go the extra step and lower the vehicle, you will in fact have a larger gap after you install the 20s since the overall tire height is as much as 2 inches smaller when going with 20s opposed to 22s. Only the 22s will give you the larger overall tire look that many look for. You will gain an inch or so with the 22s over the factory 18s.
Factory Tires (300C) 225/60/18 Approx 29" in height
245/45/20 Approx 27"
305/40/22 Approx 31"
