giving my sport a new look, need some advice.....

Hey guys! Im kinda new to this, but I have a few questions about a new look for my Sport and want some guidance. Im thinking about running a low profile tire like 265/50/r20...with some all matte black 20s. I dont want to lift it because I drive fast and aggressive, but I do drive offroad and in snow at times. I guess im looking for a UAV type look. Any one have any pictures or know if this look is even possible?

Most likely your original tire was 255/70-16 so a 265/50-20 would be approximately the same size (give or take half an inch) so It should fit with the proper wheel combination.

Since the sport has a bigger wheel arch, you may get away with lowering it a bit to give it a better stance. Personally I do not like a skinny wheel on stock ride height. A friend of mine borrowed a similar set (possibly 20 or 22) and placed it on his 2001 sport and it just looked out of place.

Then again, it's all about personal preference. We both agreed that the truck needed to be lowered to get the right effect. He ended by getting the vehicle raised and installed 33"

Since you mentioned driving in snow and a little off-road then 20" may not be the best rim-tire combination. Make sure you get a good All season tire or better yet, an AT (in that size).

I do not think 20's which give you about a 5-inch sidewall will be good for packed snow and ice + aggressive driving though

Thanks! I guess lowering it would be the best bet, or maybe just going with a 18" wheel instead.
