Can 20 inch wheels and tires fit on the rear crossfire or should i use 19 inch tires & wheels

 

There are a few forum member that have 20s, so it can be done.

 

While there are a few forum members that have done it, there are a few that will also tell you it led to catastrophic accidents with their cars. More than one XFire with 20" wheels has ended up totalled due to some strange failure.
One of these accidents is being discussed here now. Boiler had his end up upside down in a creek. While he can't say for sure it was the wheel, he also has stated he will never do 20's again.

 

thanks howd u get ur angle eyes on your headlights

 

dosent dsound to ogood ill stick with the factory

 

dosent sound good ill stick with the factory

 

A lot of pain-in-the-butt work, but it was worth it.

Rfors is right about the 20's potentially causing issues, though. I decided to just go 19s all around and I like how it looks.

 

ot but i see your in nashville. maybe you can cruise to the boro and meet some other xfire guys. we spend many a weekend wrenching in my garage. jhm2k, 13dog, goodgenes all stop by

 

I suggest you stay with the factory size for many reasons.

1. Some members that have done this complain of steering issues.
2. You run the risk of throwing off the speedometer.
3. Higher cost in tire replacement.
4. Possibility of losing a couple MPG.

 

a 19/20 combo or even an 18/20 combo is what I am after.

I have stated that I will never do another 20" - ON THE FRONT. Out back with the right rubber, I would not hesitate to do a 20" rim, but with the tolerences on the front wheel being so much tighter, and wanting to retain the factory 'raked' appearence, I am shopping for a 19/20 setup right now, but not too many wheels out there I like that have both 19 and 20 available.

 

I've had no problems with my 19/20 setup.

 

I would like to see someone do a 18/20 setup.

 

Wish me luck with my lawsuit against my insurance agent then because if it goes as planned, I am considering doing an 18/20 setup of some completely custom 1 off lexani's

 

I will be wishing you luck John. When I get to that point, I am planning on going the custom Lexani route as well. They have some beautiful wheels. Have you seen Kolevski's wheels on his ride? He has the LX-10s on his with 20X8.5 in the front and 20X10 in the back. As good as his look, I can imagine what a custom set would look like. Their custom designer tool is pretty cool.

Oh, and I will be going 18 in the front with 20 in the rear.

 

As a long distance accident investigator who was never on the scene, but did interview the victim, all I can say is this.....I believe John suffered a right front flat tire, given the rim size, and the conditions, it wouldn't let him steer to the left to get control...thus the trip into the creek...I could be wrong...but not thinking so....got to be able to steer fella's....good luck...

 

Lexani rims are way out of my league but good luck Boiler!

 

sounds like a plan one day

 

Yes it's very possible.



Nice fit. 18/20

 

Fit fine but I must say there like dress shoes! When I want to go running I put on the stocks

 

19s and 20s
