New 20's... Something a little different
I know this style/look isn't for everyone, but I like the tuck and the style.
Also important to me was it did not cost an arm and a leg.
The stock 18's were just not up to my driving style and I wasn't thrilled with the looks of them either. Very happy with this setup from Tire Rack.
245-35-20 Hankook Ventus V12 evo. Sport Edition KV5 20x8.5, 45mm offset. All 4 the same, so I can rotate.
Tanabe NF210 on front only. Stock Journey rear. No other suspension changes or adjustments.
I think this is a good example of what can be done on nearly stock ride height and still have a nice look (tucked rather than lowered).

Yeah, I figured if I decide in the future I want a little more flush, I can always add spacers. My taste is a little more old-school, you could say.
Also I drive the car kinda hard and did not want to have to worry. I think the more spaced-out they are, the lower it needs to go, to avoid SUV look. So this is my compromise, balancing $ and practicality.

If you ever plan on selling it, head over to Maxima.org -- this will sell lickety split.
Too bad TireRack never developed other offsets and sizes for this style, or i'd be all over it.

1. Less sidewall, you're going to have a less comfortable ride
2. Less grip, you've downgraded your rear sizing to narrower wheels/tires
3. Heavier setup, you've lost acceleration since your unsprung weight has increased
4. Less reliability, you're far more likely to damage a rim or pop a bead with skinny sidewalls like you've got.
