19" Or 20" Wheels For Gx470

[temacgill]

Does anyone have any information about 19" or 20" wheels for a GX470?

If you go with a larger wheel diameter, you'll need to use tires with a shorter sidewall. Have you driven a GX with 19" or 20" wheels? They might look cool and corner aggressively, but you'll find the ride is stiffer, and you'll feel bumps in the road like never before. If you bottom out a short sidewall tire in a pothole, likely the wheel will get dinged beyond repair. You may discover also that short sidewall performance tires have a much shorter life, and you'll be replacing them after 25K miles. My 17" OEM wheels may look dorky, but I'm more interested in preserving my GX's ride and handling in mountain winter weather. My Bridgestone Revos have 30K miles on them and still have half the tread left. If I had $5K to blow on looking cool, I'd probably get eyebrow hair transplants to look like George Clooney.
