Down side of large rims on sedans fwd? No hating please..gtfo if ur gonna hate

Just for reference, 35 is an aspect ratio to the width of the tires. I had 40's on my Corvette be thinner than the 30's on my Camaro (which had 345/30-17's on the rear, lol)

Honestly. sometimes you can do smaller wheels and have them look bigger. I have 20s on my tahoe and people swear they're 17s or 18s, if you stepped up to 20s or maybe 22s they would probably look a lot bigger and better than you'd think.

What engine size? I had 24s on my crown vic and it didnt make a noticeable difference from stock, but on my explorer it made a 3mph difference.

It's not an engine related issue. It's a rolling and rotational mass issue. It has to do with having a bigger diameter than what the car is calibrated for.

from my experience i hate 35 series tires... rims are easy to bend... they look nice but hate it.. 40 series and up for me

N8 I get what your saying. I was referring to acceleration issues when I spoke about engine size.

ride might not change as much, depends on the vehicle my jimmy on 24s rode better than stock

i would worry about damaging the tranny in the long run, mine is not 100% going from 1st to second u can feel it kick alittle every so often

cracked wheels or impact breaks(bubbles on the side wall) i would worry about too much unless ur gonna drive like u dont have big wheels. im sure youll drive more careful after spending so much. i personally never messed up my tires or cracked my wheels, i did curve one at taco bell...fuck you taco bell

tire wise prob wont get a 35 series tire under there unless u get a big lift, 30series is already pushing it.

I run 315/35/24 on my navigator, ridiculous on a car. I run 18s on my camaro, of course that car is made to handle.

I guess if someone likes to run rims larger than their iq on a midsize sedan, that's up to them

You need to learn some forum etiquette. I bet people that see that way you talk in your post aren't going to be quick to help you when you ask questions. Like I saide in the title if you're going to hate, GTFO.

For everyone who wants to know it's the 3.4l 6cyl engine. This engine line was a good engine. It's runs very well doesn't guzzle gas and has a lil(notice I say LITTLE) bit of balls. But there was a downside. The material GM used on the gaskets in this generation of 6cylinders would slowly deteriorate and eventually (usually between 100k and 150k miles) the head gasket or intake gasket would either completely blow or get a slow leak and need pretty much a whole engine rebuild. Luckily mine was the slow leak and I didn't blow up my engine. I've had the engine rebuilt and was thinking of selling it and getting a Tahoe but after seeing everything I've fixed and done to it I figure I wouldn't gain anything. Matter of fact I'd have to lose out because I'm betting whatever car I could buy with the money I'd get from selling this impala would need a lot of work too. So I'm sticking with this one and if I can afford it later on I'll get the Tahoe. But good thing is that if I do kill my tranny with these big boy rims I have some one who will rebuild it for 800 bucks. I'm going to see if I can get 35 series on the car if not I'll be forced to do 25 but I'll always keep my 18s in case I need them
