Long shot, but I was thinking of buying a set of 20" wheels with 8.5" front and 9.5" rears.

Is there a profound difference between how these would look compared to my 19" ZCP rims that are 9.0 and 10 respectively or maybe the. original 220 rims which are 9.5" in the back.

I'm no wheel expert so if the aftermarket wheels look comparable fitment wise to the OEM ZCPs, I'd be perfectly content. I won't be doing any spacers.

Does .5" make that much of a difference?

Does anyone have any photos of a 9.5" out back?

Depends on the offset of the wheel. The Factory 220M wheel is a +23 offset in the rear. Use that as a guide.

The width "9.5" is done in inches and the offset "+23" is done in Millimeters.

That may help you with your measurements.

For reference most people on here run a 9.5 in the front and a 10.5 in the rear.

it'll pretty much just look like 220m's with a larger diameter face since they are 20s. It'll look fine, I'll be more worried about the offset you get to make it look flush.

might look wonky depending on the offset. these cars don't wear 20's well (opinion), but going with skinnier wheels means skinnier tires- and depending on the offset, a fairly large spacer.

I agree that 20s don't really look right. 19s fill it out perfectly and are already a fairly full fitment. Plus, lighter weight, cheaper tires, and larger selection of tires.
