20 inch aftermarket wheels upgrade

[Brichinelo]

My 2019 stinger gt awd came with oem tires and rims with dimensions of 225/45R/18 front and rear. I went bigger to close that wheel gap with 20 inch wheels. Square set up with 245/35/20 with a +35 offset. 20x9. Decided to forgo the springs just for peace of mind and not any potential future problems down the line with the suspension. I do love the look of the guys and girls who did put on either eibach or ark gtf springs but still on the fence about them. Right now satisfied with the flush look, stock height, and my new wheels and tires. Rims are AB11 SIRIUS gloss black and tires are general g max all season. Chrome delete up next. Going for a murdered out look. Coming together nicely. Kept the oem tires and rims for winter season. Still had some life left in them. Last pic is with oem tires and wheels to see the difference. The airtable link with other stingers with aftermarket wheels and tires really helped with my decision as I was able to find many members who ran similar and bigger tire wheel setups. Appreciate the insights stinger community and keep the info coming on this beauty of a vehicle. Love and blessings.

Looks good. I give you 2 months max and you will have springs installed.

Lol I give myself a few weeks. The springs bring it all together in my opinion but I’m satisfied for now .

Looks better. But noticeably scantier sidewalls. You already know the tradeoffs.

How are you liking that jun bul evc Catback? Looking into getting this pretty soon .

If you got bigger wheels and skinnier tires then the wheel gap is roughly the same. Get the springs. Ark GT-F if you don't want to go too extreme. The ride is still fine IMO.

I feel like the wheel gap has closed some with the bigger tires and wheels. I came from oem 18s. But your right I think I will pull the trigger on the ark gtf springs. My sidewall should be good right ?

yes, should be just fine. if your wheels are even with the top of the fender, or inside a bit when looking straight down you will be fine. From the looks of your pics you have no poke. Ark GT-F will make it look awesome!
With the Ark springs on I'm running about -2 degrees rear camber and -1.3 degrees camber in the front, so the tilt in is ever so slight. essentially creates a little more fender room when you drop it.

Ride not as quiet, smooth or soft: the Stinger is a compromise between comfort and performance anyway; and many don't notice a difference to bother about. And thinner sidewalls bring those rims closer to potholes. Several members with 20" wheels have bashed theirs in on crappy roads: but then, OEM 19" wheels are only a little less vulnerable.

Next go around for tires I’ll Beefen them up to protect the rims some more. Thanks

I like it, quiet when you want it and loud when you need it. Mine is modified though, so when it is on the open setting its really loud.

What did you do to modify it ? And what kind of performance gains did you see ?

I removed the muffler in the open setting, not sure of the gains as I did multiple mods at once.

Custom JUN BL EVC

I wanted an EVC exhaust that offered the best of both worlds, very quiet when I want it to and the least restriction when on the loud setting. The one that offered the quietest sound was the JUN BL EVC from all the videos and reviews I have seen, but didn't offer the best performance and sound...

If you don’t have any poke currently, then you will be fine.

Im also looking to get wheels on my 2018 GT2 but I have absolutely no idea what these numbers mean. Can someone give me like a 5 min crash course as to what I should look for?
