Wheels - can't decide
I'm trying to decide between these two. Going 20" staggered. Current setup is 19" square.
The first one would be 20x8.5 ET20 front and 20x10 ET40 rear - TSW crowthorne 20 spoke Second is 20x9 ET25 front and 20x10ET50 rear: Mandrus Masche 20 spoke Struggling to pick one as I like both. Also, OEM on rear is ET40. Any issues, in anyones view, with going ET50 and adding the extra 10mm? I don't want it hanging way out of the fender. |

You can get an idea (with measurements and an illustration) of what your "old" and your "new" wheel/tire combo will be on each axle if you use the calculator at this site: www.willtheyfit.com
Enter the info for the old vs new for each axle and you'll see if there's too much "poke" (toward the fender)...or too much "inset" (toward your suspension).

I can’t help with dimensions and fit, but as between the two sets, I like the second ones much better.

Both sets look nice, but I am with Lawguy with the second set - my OCD has determined that they would be easier to clean due to the wider spoke gap!

I am looking at other options too but since they are for summer and I live in New Hampshire I'm not in a huge rush. Now I find myself thinking about 21" wheels. Any experience with 20 vs 21 relative to ride quality? I would go with Michelin Pilot or Continental ExtremeContact for tires. |

I like the top ones. Slightly cleaner look.

I vote number 2. They look more appropriate for a 7. Other ones looks more like 3 series wheels
