Anyone running 20" wheels and tires on their 2.0ltr? Instead of 19"s.

No. Since I'm not modding the engine, I generally look to add lightness. My biggest mod was a resonator delete, lost about 5 lbs. They say the last 5lbs are always the hardest to lose, so I am happy. ?

Surely someone has gone to 20" wheels on their 2.0.

I have seen some 19's but not many 20's, I do not even see that many 20's on 3.0's. Adding weight does not help

But there are plenty of 20" wheels out there these days that are light weight.

yes but stock supra wheels are very light, so many people do not want to go heavier than stock, even if still light

The stock 18's are very heavy 27.5lbs F / 28.5 lbs R. Some forged 20's from Titan7 TS5 I think weigh 21/22 F/R but tires might be the same or more weight so it's possible to go lighter with the RIGHT 20's

But 18s for the 2.0 are so ugly. lol

The thing I like about 20" wheels is how much wider I can go with the rear tires. 20x10" & 20x11" in some wheels.

Umm, you can get 10" and 11" widths on 18" and 19" wheels too, just gotta look for them.

Sounds to me like you've got your mind made up already though.

In my own personal opinion I wish I had gotten the 20s ...I think it would have looked cleaner. The deciding factor for me was how bad the roads are out here. I didn't want regular blowouts and chance a bent rim running a thinner tire. Although if I had to do it over again I would have just chanced it..lol.. Not sure if there is any physical difference between the 2.0 and 3.0 in the wheel department area but this statement is in regards to a 3.0

Trust me I have. Can't find any 5 star pattern black in 18 nor 19" that look decent AND come in 10" width. They all stop at 9.5" width. If you know of any, send me some links.

The only difference I have learned in the wheel clearance is that the 2.0 is actually .25" inches taller in the clearance/height because of the factory springs are taller on the 2.0. Which can be fixed with lowering springs as we all know. Both models can use same aftermarket springs for each different model.

agreed, but I still think 19's are a better choice for you, lighter and more options.

Agreed, but can't find any with a width of more than 9.5" in the rear. I want 10" at least.
