20” alloys - how’s the ride?

[Pau1GTI]

This is something I'm struggling to decide on after my CRS suspension kit (40mm drop). 20's or swamper wheel with a road tyre like coopers or CC2s

I wouldn't go bigger than 18's. Ride and choice of tyres is my reason, but looks seem to win out on here most of the time.

I do around 30k a year on 20s (April till December) and then 10K over the winter on 17s. Having had 3 transporters and run everything from 16 to 20 wheels I can honestly say I feel very little difference between 235 55 17 and 255 40 20 in regards to ride. I have VW spec coilovers (KW / Eibach combo) wound down to max - 70mm.

Worse ride was 275 40 20 on stock suspension. Best was 255 45 18 on Eibach.

Tyre pressure also makes considerable difference to ride but as I do high mileage I generally keep pressures up to aid with economy.

I find mine so much more pleasant to drive on 265/40/20 Goodyear F1s compared to any Devonports with standard van tyres on

Mine drives great on 20's with skinny tyres!! Don't forget, suspension plays a big part aswell!

We are taking ours to Skye on 20's with a spare 20" stuck on a Bak Rak tow ball carrier. Suspension by Steve @CRS Performance ,coupled with Michelin cc2's makes for a very comfortable ride. Cant fault it.
