Wheel height for new wheels

[ShaBoingBoing]

I’m looking to buy a new set of wheels but I’m not sure whether I want 20s or 19s. I see that there are height calculators for wheels but I don’t know if they’re accurate. Currently I have the 255/40 r19s that come with the gt premium. If I wanted to go 19x10 or 20x10, what size tire would I need to keep the same height? Also does anyone have pictures of their s650 on 20s?

Is my go too, it won't be 100% accurate because tire pressures, vehicle weights, etc can affect height in minor ways

If you're wanting to stick close to oem size for 19s you'll want 285/35 or 295/35, one is slightly shorter, the other is slightly larger.
For 20s if you can find any: 295/30

I've got a set of 20s coming this week, hope to have them setup and on the car by Sunday

Any chance you would be able to post a pic once they’re on? I’m worried 20s will look too big

Can do, I'd also suggest looking at the wheels and tires section here, most of what Vibe and N4S put up are 20s, RTRs wheels are also 20s, just note that a lot of the cars are lowered too.

Hello ! Any reason you are trying to keep the same height? A very common setup is a 20x10 20x11 275/35/20 305/35/20 no rubbing issues no ride issues. Alot of wheel and tire options are available in these sizes as well. Still allows room for the vehicle to be lowered as well

I am in the same boat, regardless of weight 20s look a little big. Prefer 19s as it gives a proportional look.
