Hey guys,

Was wondering if the ride will be tremendously affected if I put on 20 inches wheels.

I live in Montreal, Canada and the streets conditions aren't the best tbh.

I was considering installing the h&r springs with spacers (I read 18 and 12 front are recommended).

I was thinking about getting these wheels: https://www.carid.com/lexani-wheels/...-88834690.html

They recommend 8.5 x 20 for the front and 10 x 20 for the back.

What do you guys think, any recommendations?

Any input would be appreciated! I don't want to go extreme, just a nice drop with nice wheels.

Are you planning to use 20" wheels during the summer only with a dedicated wheel / tire set during the winter (18" or 19" wheels)?

Yes exactly, gon use the 19 inches that come with the car as a winter set.

Great decision to use 19" wheels during the winter. 18" wheels are even better with higher sidewall tires.

I would not recommend lowering the vehicle with 20" wheels using H&R Springs. Stiffer springs with softer shocks on xDrive vehicles are likely to produce a bouncy ride. The Suspension forum has many threads discussing this topic.

Do you want to lower the vehicle for cosmetic purposes? During the winter, lower ground clearance may not be helpful with all the snow Montreal usually receives. I have been to Montreal many times.

Yup exactly, mostly for cosmetic purposes. Thanks for your input, I've read a little about the bouncy ride. I don't think it will bother me too much, and after reading a little more I'm more inclined on choosing 19 inches wheels and wide tyres for summer with some spacers, just to give it a more agressive look!

Living in Montreal and driving on lowered cars with 18's, 19's and 20s, don't do 20's! The ride isn't comfortable, even with KW's. The tire profiles are too low to absorb anything. 19's look great and offer the best ride quality!

Just curious, what tires sizes are you gonna get?
