    I got a 04gtp Comp g. I was thinking of getting 20''s but dont know how they ride andbody got 20's on theres. Also do u have to do anything else to the car for 20's to fit right and ride right with no rub or anything. I also might go with 18s and a eibach 1.5" drop front and back, does anybody got that sort of set up? Just looking to get some info on this.

    Thanks Johnny

    18's

    20's are too big IMO, more stress on the trans.

    '04+ cars look great with 20's.

    Just have to be the right ones and not dumb DUB wheels.

    I suggest wheels that are not shaped like squares. It causes a strange vibration while driving.

    Sure.

    If you roll your fenders.

    Or get camber plates and kick those wheels out enough to clear.
