Anybody Ridin' 20s in NYC or Boston?

[Dj NrG]

Just wondering if anybody has been brave enough to ride 20s in cities with awful roads like NYC or Boston? I'm trying to decide if I want to play it safe with 18s or stick with the 20s.

What about 19s? I was contemplating whether to get 20's too. I ended up getting 18's. It's a comfortable ride but sometimes I wish I got 19's. I did hear on a post that they crack more easily than 20's but idk if that's a fact.

I used to ride on 20s in LA. Streets are pretty bad too. I bent one really bad on a huge pothole that crept up on me. I downgraded to 18s and the ride is so much better. I haven't even contemplated going back.

what size rims did you change to... 18x7.5? what size tires did you end up going with?

If he hasn't had any issues with his 19's on Hawaii roads, then 19's should be fine for off-roading.

i plan on buying some chrome rims in the near future but i getting my car painted and my friend has a 02 stang and this guy owed him some dough so he got there 18 inch saleen rims he told me today i could have em if i bought some rubber for em so **** it im gonna rum those for this summer and save some money till the fall and buy some nice one but im wondering if the bolt patterns the same? anyone know? the tires on them are 245/40/18 there shouldnt be a fender issue i hope but it shouldnt look to bad will it? lol and anyone know where i can buy 245/40/18's?

By the way I've been wondering what ftw stands for? I have 18x8 tsw vortex in chrome. They're nice. I got faced rims b/c I think they look bigger than rims with lips. Even though I think rims with lips look nice. People sometimes ask me if I have 19's on. I guess they look bigger. Lol. I am running 225/45/18. They seem perfect for the rims. I wanted 235/45/18 but they cost a little more I think. And I also figured if I got 225, then the tire would be a lil slimmer and it would save a tiny bit of weight and a lil less friction so an unnoticable but better gas milage? I just went with them.

ftw = for the win
ftl = for the loss

Bolt pattern for the Altima is 5 x 114.3.
Offset is +45.

A RWD mustang wheel on a FWD Altima....don't think that will work for you.

I got 20's go through brooklyn, queens all over and so far i'm lucky and nothing has happened to them... i've hit some pretty bad pot holes too. I just take it slow and try to miss as much as i can. running 245/35/20ZR on them so.

[02altima35se]

i know their the same bolt patter not sure about the offset though i was getting them free anyways lol

20's in NYC is risky , you better drive slow and try to avoid potholes !!!

So I decided to just get better tires (Toyo Proxe 4) than what came with my rims (Clear Z-Rated). I already notice the smoother ride...it doesn't feel like I'm going to bend a rim everytime I go over a bump. I should have gone with 19s or 18s but I didn't want to spend another $1500 and then worry about selling my 20s...too much of a headache!
