Although I haven’t got 20 inch rims or any experience of travelling in an RS with them fitted. I suspect it will not be any improvement on ride or handling. They may fill the arches giving an appearance of the wheel arch looking better to the eye. There are more owners experimenting the other way with 18 inch rims to improve the overall ride.

There’s a thread on here somewhere, at the moment I can not find it but, from what I remember it was the same conclusion as that you have said @coastliner, they looks great on the car but didn’t do much for the handling. I’ll keep looking ?

Airtec fitted 20’s to their RS and reported no noticeable negative effects.

Well watched the video some likes and some dislikes, although that wide body kit looks good, why on earth doesn’t the wide aspec go to the bottom of the bumper looks short front and back. And that ride looks pretty choppy to me.

Not brave enough

Pot holes around here would more than likely reek havoc with a 30 profile tyre, I feel brave with 35 on the 19 inch forged wheels.

May the Ford be with you
