Whose Running 20" On Their Daily Driver???

Im just curious how many people out there run 20's on their 3rd Gen thats their daily driver.

I drive a 06 TL auto, have no drop and drive about 15 miles each way to work daily.

Specs are gonna be:
Wheels are: 20x8.5 with an offset of 35
Tires are: 225/35/20

I did for almost a year.

You'll need your tires to have a 30 series sidewall so they don't throw off the speedo.

I have 20s on my car and drive it every day. The tires are 245/35s and it does throw the speedo off a little but the extra protection from the 35 series versus 30 series tires is worth it imo. And I ride through the potholes and bumps and have had no ill effects to the wheels.

im dailying 20's

its good but definitly go for a size 30 sidewall if you are planning on dropping it. i was on a 35 sidewall on my car and i was rubbing on stock height, but my offset was lower +22 and 9.5 wide
with a 9.5 +35 you should be fine
