20" Alloys and new springs

[Rich Corrado]

Hi everyone,
I'm looking into alloys and lowering springs at the moment and wondered if anyone had lowered their Cali by 30mm and put bigger wheels on?

These are what I'm looking at.

I appreciate they may not be to everyone's taste but I really like the look of a Black Cali with black wheels.

I lowered with the vw springs and put on 18 inch wheels which I find a nice balance of comfort and style. The bigger you go the harsher the ride must admit the wheels look good

Has anyone put 20" wheels on and lowered it?

Im putting 20's on my new Kombi, its a 4 motion DSG T32. The T32 makes tyres options very limited - one in fact. I am fitting VW springs (-30mm) and 275/35R20 105Y Pirelli tyres. Make sure you get the right tyre size, as a lot of people put the RRS size on and they rub on full lock.

If you want to go coilovers, I believer Bilsteins are the popular choice but very pricey.

The search for alloys and tyres is starting to drive me mad!

I am being told that loads of tyres will fit????

275/45/20
245/40/20
255/35/20
245/55/20
And more!

I want as much rubber as possible as I don't want to compromise the ride(too much)

Will 275/45/20 rub?

I loves these alloys, what do you lot think of them?

We fitted black 20 inch wheels and a coilover kit to a customers California and he is very pleased with it (customer supplied all parts). The front wheels do rub though on full lock.

cheers
