Why the heck are so many using ride-killing 20" wheels??

[QUOTE="BOOGIE MAN, post: 15587238, member: 26082"] The only way that bigger wheels "ruin" handling is by adding unsprung weight compared to smaller wheels. However, bigger wheels allow for bigger brakes, so balance that out however you like. The C5 vette in your avatar came with 17 and 18s... The C6 vette in your avatar (and the C7 for that matter) came with 18 and 19s... Smaller sidewall = better handling (turning) Larger sidewall = better traction on holeshots but more sidewall flex while turning, therefore "worse" handling So if you wanted to put smaller wheels on a newer Mustang because of your argument that smaller wheels = better handling, and then you put small sidewall tires on it, the overall wheel would not "fit" the car and would look out of place.
