Wanna run 24s

I have a question for 10K. I have the 20s on my 2011 from the factory and like them. Not much on the really larger sizes for me but do like the look of the really large rim and super low profile tire from time to time.

With such a low profile tire, do they ride rougher? I always thought it would not take much of a pot hole to dent a rim. School me on the pros and cons. Thanks.

That is the con...bending the rims on put holes...larger rims look good and when u get large rims on a car or truck u automatically assume the risk of bending a rim from a pothole...I have 22s on my wife's altima...30 series tires...thin but not riding on the rim thin...the ride is still smooth...u feel the bumps more and they sound harsher than they really are...u feel the grooves in the road and the vehicle like to follow them...u have to always be looking out for potholes so u don't bend a rim but it's all worth it to me...handling improved with the wider wheels believe it or not...they look great...instant visual improvement for any vehicle...it's a must for me...I love them...cleaning and all...it's therapeutic for me...seriously...some ppl like a nice lawn...I like clean rims...and for me I don't believe in putting 26s on a civic or accord like u see on the Internet...I believe in having the largest rim without lifting the car...I'd never put 26so on my wife's car...but many have done it...just bit my style

I'm on 24s and compared to the factory 20s, the ride is much more tighter in terms of handling. The quality is a bit harsher but you just have paved roads all the time in the city. I took her up to the mountains and she did well and i loved the extra grip I felt. I guess the oem size 275/55's seem a bit too plushy. One thing though, probably heavily dependent on tire oem, its easy to not only nick your wheels, but the tires can get damaged too. I got a couple of tires that have small chunks missing and I'm about to go on a long distance trip (2k miles!), so they'll be replaced. I saw a couple of 26's on CL and that has my attention (though I'll need tpms sensors).

U can use the sensors in ur rims now

They're the belt type and I'm not sure if the belt will stretch to 26's . I'm going to see them on Monday and I'll decide then if I'll get the 26s. I got lucky my current 24's came off an 08 Navi, so I just had to buy the training tool ($35) only

I have 24's on and no problems
