Can i put 20 inch wheels at the back?

AdAshamed3551 | 2026-01-27 14:34 | 65 views

Car is fwd, so i'm wondering if 19 inches at the front and 20 inches at the back would be okay since i'm not driving with the rear wheels. Rear wheels looks too small on this car.

No idea but daaaayum Seal U in black looks good 🙌

OptimusTron222 2026-01-27 16:01

Damn this car is ugly when blacked out like that

Normally with RWD cars you would put on wider wheels not larger wheels on the rear and with FWD and AWD you would do the same front and rear. I think larger wheels only on the rear of a SUV would make it look crap TBH.

AdAshamed3551 2026-01-27 16:33

I guess you're right, asked chat gpt to put 20 at the back and it didn't quite look as good as i expected. I guess i'd have to upgrade all 4 to 20 inch but not sure if that's possible without a method to recalibrate the speedometer and the abs.

Thanks!

What color is your car?

OptimusTron222 2026-01-27 18:43

Blue, not sure exact color, never putting black rims in it no matter what people tell me, silver has great contrast with any color, blacking out the car just removes any distinguishing design factor

No need for any recalibration, if the total diameter does not change. Here in Germany there are "pre-tested" & "approved" rims available, which you can just swap: e.g.: 235/45R20 with 8.50 width and offset 41 245/40R20 with 8.50 width and offset 44 or even a 21" rim (Autec Nimah) with: 235/40R21 with 8.50 width and offset 40 245/35R21 with 8.50 width and offset 40 255/35R21 with 8.50 width and offset 40 which is plug n play.

I've got to agree. It doesn't look great in complete black. Maybe because in Australia that would literally melt the car 😂

AdAshamed3551 2026-01-27 19:14

Contrast helps show details, sure. But a blacked-out car isn’t about details, it removes them and emphasizes the car’s overall shape. It looks more aggressive and intimidating.  If you were to say it’s a nightmare to keep it clean, I’d 100% agree with you.

OptimusTron222 2026-01-27 20:15

Sure, a family Byd SUV, the intimidating champion on the road

Former-Inflation-546 2026-01-27 20:56

Byd look cool asf i just dont mess with electric cars i like my engines too much😂

PoopsMcGroots 2026-01-27 21:01

Fortunately this model is available as a PHEV (as mine is) so you drive on dinosaur juice if you really want to, and drive on reclaimed energy from braking, coasting and downhill AND add battery to the ICE output when you really want to GO. I drove my grey one to Italy and back from Scotland last year and driving over the Alps was like living an episode of Top Gear 😁

killer_B122 2026-01-27 21:07

If you added accessories that make this car look sporty im sure itll look amazing

Former-Inflation-546 2026-01-27 21:22

Whats a phev? They got new pronouns for evs😭

Former-Inflation-546 2026-01-27 21:22

And nice where in scotland? I know some good routes

PoopsMcGroots 2026-01-27 21:23

Plugin Hybrid Electric Vehicle. It has both petrol and electric motors.

Former-Inflation-546 2026-01-27 21:24

Ah yeah i totally agree with hybrids just electric cars i cant handle like they are great for non enthusiast point a to point b driving but i need that v8 sound honestly plus im a farmer i’d get killed for going ev😂

PoopsMcGroots 2026-01-27 21:26

Maybe [this](https://www.autotrader.co.uk/content/news/byd-builds-world-s-fastest-car#:~:text=The%20BYD%20Yangwang%20U9%20Extreme%2C%20or%20U9X%2C,engineering%20signatures%2C%20including%20its%20%22Blade%22%20battery%20tech) would interest?

Former-Inflation-546 2026-01-27 21:33

It looks like an amg project 1 and a lykan hypersport had a child it looks great but still has no engine ya know

AssistanceSad3748 2026-01-27 22:34

I’d swap both sets for 20 inch wheels and then send those to me. Damn, they look nice!

colonelmattyman 2026-01-27 23:16

All that noise is wasted energy. So inefficient.

ClassroomIcy4717 2026-01-28 00:25

howd u get the oems black?

ODONOPHEW 2026-01-28 00:40

AWD? Thing looks hot

Wonka0998 2026-01-28 01:56

Put whatever size tires and wheels you can fit as long as you don't change the overall diameter. That's not only dumb, but dangerous too. If it's 235/50R19 (acoording to Gemini), you have to get 235/45R20 or 265/40R20. Make sure to check tiresize.com if you're unsure.

I've ordered them this way at the dealership when i bought the car. I remember asking them to wrap only but they probably ended up painting them.

ClassroomIcy4717 2026-01-28 03:21

they do black rims??? How for extra?

AdAshamed3551 2026-01-28 04:46

Yes, not only rims but the whole car as long as you pay for it, logos, all chrome details, the matte black plastics.

Former-Inflation-546 2026-01-28 07:24

Well i dont buy a car for efficiency 😂 i drive an aston martin bro i drive for the sound roof down and speed not a little battery going WEEEEEEEE

Ruicky0122 2026-01-28 10:38

The black Seal U looks way better than other colors! You gonna go for the BEV or the PHEV?

AdAshamed3551 2026-01-28 11:09

Mine is the PHEV.

ClassroomIcy4717 2026-01-28 22:45

how much?

AdAshamed3551 2026-01-29 02:48

Depends on what's the labor cost of it on where you live. Materials wise i doubt it'd cost you more than 300 USD to do it by yourself, and in labor it was about 1,000 USD. That of course was for the window tints, black glossy wheels, and anything else that was either matte black, chrome, or silver in the car to be painted or wrapped in black, logos, wheel arches, roof racks, etc. In my case i also bought a bodykit from aliexpress and it costed me about 500 usd (front spoiler and rear diffuser), so if you look closely at the front of mine you'll see it isnt quite the standard sl6.  Bodykit didn't cost anything to install and i did it in about 30 minutes in my garage.

ClassroomIcy4717 2026-01-29 03:38

the black stuff is, hella expensive, bodykit might be fine

Clean_Seat_5413 2026-01-29 16:02

Damn! Would like to see it in twilight shot with lights on

AdAshamed3551 2026-01-31 03:21

Sure. I'm on vacation right now and quite far away from my car, but i'll do it as soon as i'm able to.

Mission_Advance7377 2026-02-01 02:30

You definitely got a 2-inch wiener

Former-Inflation-546 2026-02-06 13:12

Because i like cars that make noises? Okay then😂
