Great job Klaus!! Really the best and simplest explination I have seen. Will use it. I was intial told do not go over 18" or it will eat your brakes up so fast You will be sick. I wanted 20" as I like the 325/60X20 and was told it will be OK but, beyond that trouble. i did go 20" Love Them hadles better and ride is as good. BUT, I had better start slowing down way sooner than i did with the factory or it will be into the intersection before You know it. That is the reason i need to go to bigger brakes at some point. As long as I am carefull no problem and love them. If You go 24" i can not imagine You not having a problem at some time. The 20" are hard to get slowed down.
You will eat the pads and rotors up unless You drive like a little blue haired lady on Sunday morning Church trip.
Also the more rim you have usually the less tire you have which means the less side wall you have which means a harder ride you have.
Goofy I know but, true most of the time. Had a very good tire man tell Me that from which over the 20 years Ihave done business with him has never steered Me wrong and He is not and old man just sarted a business very young. I'm considerably older. He is just very good about not letting You get into a dangerous situation.
Thanks Klaus great explanation.
