Bought some new 20 x 8.5 wheels for the ttg with 275's. hardly notice the sightly firmer ride but it seems to steer a bit sharper and sit a bit flatter on tight corners, might try firmer springs as well.

Added 2 pics.....don't know if I got it to work.

Looks good mate but defiantly needs to go down

Yes I think that will happen with the springs. Didn't want to go to 22's, starts to look a bit like a pram with bicycle wheels on if you don't pick the right wheels if you know what I mean.

Looks nice mate.

I tossed up wheel options for my TT and ended up just leaving it. If you go bigger, you have to drop it. If you drop it, it doesn't drive the same unless you spend good money. All too hard for me. I take my hat off to you.

you though about just dropping it on the stock rims/tyres grudge!? looks great on some cars, maybe some photochoppers could help out... hmmm??

Yeah mate, I've considered it, but I decided against it. I like being able to bash over gutters and such (got a funny parking setup at work) and I don't really want to jeopardise the ride quality with compressed springs. Conversely, I don't want to spend the money to properly lower it.

A bloke at work lowered his JEEP cherokee thing and it rides worse than anything I've ever been in.

Yes I know what you mean. I was thinking of firming up the spring rates anyway. Talked to KIngs Springs a while back, they had springs in stock for TTG's which from memory lowered it about 30 or 40mm but were the same tension as standard. You can also have them made up to what ever you want by asking for the % firmness and length over stock that you want.

Talked to a guy once in a shopping car park who had done this, to be honest I couldn't tell immediately that it was lowered only when he told me, I guess I was busy admiring his 20" rims! He said the ride was only slightly firmer than stock but stopped a huge amount of body roll when cornering, that's what I'm looking at really, just little improvements over standard, its never going to be a Ferrari so no point trying!

That's what it's all about mate. Changing it up to suit your needs.
