Ok, guess I'll have to do 20X9 and 20X10.

I keep the car in dynamic all the time. There is also an auto setting which will adjust the suspension automatically. Prob would use that on a long trip or something. As of now I've kept it in dynamic setting.

I have stock mats, nothing special. I'm going to upgrade them with Weathertech Floor Liners, highly recommend them. Had them in the 4Runner I traded in for the SQ5. Outstanding protection for the front carpets, keeps and traps all crap in the liner and very easy to clean.

Funny, we're selling our 4Runner for the SQ5 as well. How have you liked it so far, no regrets?

So, was that et25 before or after the spacer? I'd think their et40 offering would be the 10" bathurst to run...with a spacer of course.

Btw, why didn't you stagger the tires?

No regrets at all. Love the SQ5, it's so much more fun to drive!

Loved my 4Runner but it was, well let's face it, not the most exciting vehicle to drive. Plus the gas mileage was horrible, about 14mpg around town. I wanted something that was more engaging, more enjoyable to drive, got better gas mileage, and good in winter weather. Never went off-road so I didn't need that capability. I lost some cargo capacity but that's about the only negative.

I went 20x9.5 because it is the only way that the tire will not stick out, 20x10 no go, regardless of the offset, I will stick out.
Do you have any other pics of this setup showing how flush they are front & rear, and also curious to see the tire stretch on the rear wheels vs front. I was thinking 275/40 on a 10.5 would be pretty stretched, but that doesn't look bad at all. You ran the same size tire all around, correct?

that depends on the tire for instance the toyos t1sports that Im running are a true 90 degree therefore even the 10.5 looks not stretch at all, looks very good. all of my 4 wheels are flush.

Default Started modding my 2018 sq5

I got my black sq5 with red nappa and sport package yesterday. Tinted windows and windshield, and blacked out yellow side markers. My shop is pushing me to put spacers on the back wheels for the wider look, and to black out the window trim. Any advice on these mods or anything else I could do? Trying to go for a clean look, don't want to kill the look. Will post pics soon.
