This may be the last decision, at least I hope so, I have to make regarding my P85D to be delivered next month (yes, I can finally say next month ), it's been a tough process from colors, suspension type, options, and the list go on and on, so please help me with this last one.
I'm taking delivery with 19" wheels and tires but will upgrade to 20's as I feel that's the best of all worlds for me. I'm thinking of buying these wheels below, they were the only ones, after hours of looking, that both my wife and I agreed upon.
I'm thinking of pairing them with Continental ExtremeContact DWS all season tires, although I'm in sunny Florida. The wheels come in 20x8.5 and 20x10, not 9-9.5 size, and these tires are the best option for the size that I've found (with the help from Jason at GetYourWheels!).
I guess the first question is, what do you think of the wheel/tire combo for the P85D?
The second question is, should I go 20x8.5 all around or should I do 20x8.5 in front and 20x10 in rear? My reservations have to do with weight and tire wear. The staggered tires can't be rotated and also the rears would wear faster I supposed. Or would this be different due to the AWD?
Regarding the weight, what we are looking at is the following:
Avant Garde AG M510Wheel Weight:
20x8.5 - 30.5 lbs
20x10 - 32 lbs
Continental DSW Tire Weight
Front: 26.1
Rear: 31.9
If I go non-staggered, the weight would be pretty similar to the stock 19" package even though I'm going up to 20". But if I go with the staggered package I'll be adding 3.25 pounds per corner but getting 20" rims as a trade-off.
All comments, thoughts and suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks!
