ah good call, lol
yes i am pretty sure those are my specs. They are ok, you can def feel the pebbles in the road, but you will get use to it. just watch for curbs n potholes, they will do more serious damage to a 20 by 7.5

What's weird is that my ride is better on 20s. I'm so confused lol.

I can dodge potholes, but there are bumps in the road (such as imperfections in the asphalt) that I can not avoid. Are these bad?

Lol, I'm glad someone is interested

I guess it would depend on the actual imperfections. You should feel the road a lot more having less "cushion" between the rim and the road. Just imagine what its like to ride with no tires, and wht its like on stock, it shouldnt be as good as stock, but better then nothing. Keep in mind you have air ride, so that may counter the effect of feeling more. Which makes me wonder, since the shock must go somewhere, it may put little more of a strain on the air ride, so you may want to check them every so often (if you dont have pressure gauges in the car) I could be wrong but I am thinking logically

i would imagine that if the rebound was that violent, that it would pop a bag, what do you think?

DansGen1Alero · 11-20-2009, 09:11 PM

I dont think it would be that sudden unless hitting a huge pothole, lol dont worry the poor guy nate, lol

I think that over time wear n tear may be slightly increased. nothing sudden or major, but just over time.

just be careful. i have 225/35/18s on my truck and destroyed on on a pothole i couldnt avoid.

im callin bullshit, especially on 20s

Pics will come as soon as I get that done.

So you are saying that the definition of an "inch" changes with different brands? lol

ya know I was thinking that too.

Unless your bagged, or roll fenders or have some modification to the suspension, I was pretty sure 7.5 was the widest, and the tire would need to be slightly stretched.
