For those of you that are lucky enough to have the 19" and 20" set up, did you have to relocate your emergency brake and to where did you move it to? I am contemplating getting another set of wheels and have heard that the brake does have to be relocated.

Also, I am going to be upgrading to the PS2's but I do no think they have them in the 19's and 20's or do they? If they do not, what would be a comparable tire to the Michelins? Most of my driving (hard) consists of highway/city with the occasional 1/8th mile.

Ive got the iforged 19/20 combo and did not have to relocate my e-brake.As far as tires go you can get the 19/20 combo in ps2s.I have 255/35/zr19 up front and 355/30/zr20s on the rear with no issues. good luck.

I have 19/20's also. I also run the PS2. I run a 275/30/19 front which is pretty close to stock height. The rear is a 335/30/20, it is a little taller then stock height for rear. Wheels are 19x10.5 front and 20x13 rear. No need to relocate E-Brake. I think that is only done when you run the smaller 18" wheels for track. Also, I wouldnt go down to a 255 like FastViper , the 275 fits perfect, like stock and you can even go wider.

It's hard enough to keep these cars from understeering...why would you go to even less tire up front?

.....also...when did they start making a 355/30zr20?

so it's clear...there are really only 3 options for the rear at the moment.

335/30zr20 in a michelin PS2 : little taller than stock, the stickiest tire available for the 20 inch wheel.
345/25zr20 in either the Pirelli P-Zero Rosso or the Nitto Invo : shorter than stock and both have decent performance....the nittos run a bit smaller than the pirellis

Up front it should be the 275/30zr19 but obviously people are all over the place with the fronts...from 255's up to 315's even

E-brake relocation is only needed when you go to smaller wheels.

Another FYI for you.....if you go 275/30zr19 in the PS2, make sure your rim is 10" wide...on a 10.5" wheel, the tire looks a bit stretched out....the Pirelli in the same size runs a bit wider and fits just fine on the 10.5 wheel....Nitto Invo only comes in a 285/30zr19 for the fronts so it's wider anyway and will work on 10" or 10.5" wheels.

I have Iforged 19 & 20 wheels. I am running the Nitto tires, the rears are as stated by my fronts are 285/30/zr19, not 275. I have 12k miles on them and they have worn well. They are short and that is one thing I like about them. If I went with the PS2 which I may some day to try them I would definitley have to adjust ride height.

A coilover is definatley handy when switching between tire sizes. I had to raise rear about 1/2" when I put on the PS2's in 20's.

Thanks for all the great info, guys. I will be looking for some wheels soon and I am glad to hear that I do no have to relocate the e-brake. I have heard nothing but great things about the PS2's and with the difference in the 20's, I have that covered with the Motons.

I have the 18/19's with 295/35 up front and 345/30 in the rear, all PS2's. Just in case you don't want an idea of what a little more sidewall and rim protection looks like. Fills out the wheelwell a little more without dropping the car, too.
