I had a set of 20s on my Optima that I kept when I traded it in for this Stinger. I had them posted on Craigslist for 600$ for 5 months, and no one wanted them. :unsure: . I was bored yesterday so I decided to try them on. They are 20x8.5 +40, all the way around, not staggered. I also weighed the wheels as I was putting them on. 19" OEM rear wheels and tires weighed just under 65 lbs, front wheels and tires were 54 lbs. The aftermarket wheels and tires came in at 50.7 lbs. They were also just under an inch taller, so the only real major difference other than the height, was the front width.

Thanks. It might be in my head, the car feels like it actually performs better also. The tpms light is on as well, but I know how much air is in the tires because I put it there. Eventually I will beef up the rubber slightly and fix it, but for now its not bad at all.

I like them too! Now add a set of Eibach lowering springs!
I agree. I also ordered a set of 5mm spacers to flush it up to the body. I'm going to make a video of the install of the spacers. I just want to add the AWD seems to adore this squared set up. There is a perfect amount of oversteer now. I think from the factory, it was set up for understeer.
