Need pics of anyone running 19"/20" and 20"/20" Wheels...Can't decide
Can anyone running wheels 19" front 20" rear and 20" front and rear post pics please.
99% sure i want the black 360 mesh 8 concaves for my black Z, but Can't decide on sizes, 19/20 lets me run PS2 ZP, but sometimes 20/20 looks a little better, but then can't run ZP tires....
Please Help me decide, thanks.

Staggered 19/20 looks better. Plus 20's in the front can cause rubbing issues with the brake duct.

I was 'advised' that 20's in the front are all about appearance only.
Both handling and ride as well as tire availability are better suited to a 19/20 stagger.
That was the consensus of the advice I received

What is the verdict with the 19/20 as far as an occassional track setup? I have read all of the threads about adding weight, etc. i was considering the cup wheels for my car but I am also curious about the downside (other than the cost of tires).

and IMO, 19/20 does NOT look better than 20/20.
The car may perform better with 19/20 (less weight, rotating mass) but nothing you will really notice in the SOTP.
I need to raise the rear slightly, which will cause the front to drop slightly, as I was rubbing the outer sidewall at WOT in the rear with a passenger.
Same wheels you want 360 forged mesh 8 20/20:

No issues at all with a 20/20 setup. No rubbing, scraping, etc etc. We do them all day everyday. Nitto Invos 285/25/20 and 345/25/20. We even get customers now with 20/21 setups with no issues.
Shoot me a PM Aussie and I'll set you up nicely in a set of 360 Forgeds
The best ride quality is definitely 19/20 though.
All these concaves are 20/20 pictured below.

One thing to keep in mind, if you're making big power, go with the standard mesh 8's over the concaves. We just finished some simulation tests on proE that confirm our suspicion that cancaves are sunstantially weeker than traditional spokes.
I suspect, one of the reasons why none of the wheel co's that specialize in motorsport wheels offer the 3 piece concave design.

Ive had both 20/20 and now 19/20 and i would never do a 20 in the front again for a few reasons. they make the brakes look tiny and u have to run a rubberband of a tire making it real easy for u to bend the wheel on any sort of pothole. Just my 2 cents here is my 19/20 just for the record.
