ok, i found pirelli p-zeros in a 315/35/20...

Man, I wouldn't want to hit a bump too hard with those things :crazy:
why would you say that? i don't think you understand tire sizing...
a 315/35/20 has the exact same sidewall height as a 315/35/anything. and the sidewall height is the main thing that affects ride quality.

:cheers:

Yup, you're right.......I glanced over it and saw the "20" and thought it was the aspect ratio as opposed to the rim diameter :crazy:

315/35/20 would be a pretty tall tire wouldn't it?

that would be a pretty tall tire, and i really don't think it would fit.

i just found the wheels that i want and they don't come in a 20... so i solved my own problem. LOL.
i gotta get a set of the new CCW's... i've always wanted a set of HRE547's and these new CCW's look even better for less $$! hopefully i will order them tomorrow and maybe i'll have them on the car by the biltmore cruise next weekend!
see ya!
:cheers:

Glad to see you came to your senses. 20s are impractical in every way. Taller sidewall = fender rub, shorter sidewall = hellish ride quality and risk of wheel damage. And the tires cost 4 times as much.

If money is no object, have you considered Fikse? They have some jaw dropping wheels also.
