Exactly my situation but I have not done it yet. Still trying to source the wheels. Would be very helpful to hear from an experienced person though. I wonder if change the wheels alone without the suspension will do the car any harm...

I have a 3.0 nonsport and I went from 17" to 19" and I like the change. The ride is a little louder on the highway but the feel and look are worth it. The ride isnt much rougher either, its still very comfortable to me. Go for it!!

I bought the 4.8 nonsport but put on the 20" sport, couldn't even tell the difference beside how much better the truck looks!

HOW DOES IT WORK WHEN U UPGRADE THE WHEELS AND TIRES REGARDING THE TIRE SENSOR? WILL IT STILL WORK SINCE ITS AFTERMARKET?

I put on 19" OEM rims/tires that I bought from another member. I didnt have to worry about that. Was able to use my existing lugs and all.

I have the 4.8 with the 20's (Dunlop). I love it. Just a word of caution, the front tires will wear fairly quickly and you will get feathering of the tire at the edges. They probably will not last long. I have 17,000 KMS on mine mostly hiway I may have to replace the fronts next year. I do like brisk driving, but by no means am I overly aggressive.

I found this Y-spoke 20" from ebay. Anyone have comments on these after market rims? Quality? It looks exactly the same as OEM and is 1/3 of the OEM costs.

Never heard of them. Just make sure they are for the E70. I know OZ makes a wheel that fits the E70 and looks very nice.
