My ride quality is very similar stock, but only because I went with a good light weight wheel with good quality tires. If you go with a cheap/heavy wheel with cheaper tires you would almost certainly notice a significant degradation in ride quality/performance. Wheels and tires are very much...
I’ll toss in my 2 cents…
The CX-9 is a very big and sporty looking vehicle, and even the stock 20’s looked too small and too far inset for my taste. Add to that, the fact that I wanted winter tires on separate rims, so I put some winters on the stock 20’s and got a set of 22’s. Totally...
I would say the fronts are near perfectly flush and the rears are just a touch inside the fender. I believe another member measured the fenders to be 30mm out from the stock tire on the front, and 35mm in the rear here.
I might add a 5mm spacer to the rear to make everything perfectly flush...
Thanks so much! I agree the new wheels really expose and highlight the brakes, however the stock brakes are smooth, quiet and function perfectly for the diving I do. If anything I might paint the calipers black just to blend them in a bit better.
I also own a GTI that is my sporty/tuner car...
