I'm a fool because I know oversized wheels don't belong on cars that were never designed for them?
I'm a fool because I know something about wheel functionality?
I'm a fool because I know better than to put a 20 inch wheel on a car and then wonder WTF happened to my ride quality and why the car handles like crap?
Yeah. I'm a real big fool there, Sparky.
You are only taking into account the bling-Bling factor. Who cares about functionality, right? Hell, it's only a Lincoln. It's not like it was designed for a nice comfortable ride, right?
Let's throw out those little facts called rotating mass and the like. Who needs only a bit of unsprung weight? Hell, lets make the wheels out of Lead! They'll hold the car down better!
You go ahead and get those 20 inch wheels, and then admit to yourself you screwed up. You'll look GOOD!... and feel like you're in a horse carriage.
Why do you think a lot of the LS guys get 20 inch wheels and then want to trade them a couple of months down the road for 18's? Surely it's not because they are making their LSs ride like a wagon, and handle even worse. Right?
There are a lot of cars out there that look good on 20's and hell, even do well on 20 inch wheels. Alas, the Mark VIII's started being built 14 years ago, when 18" wheels were the aftermarked craze, like the 20's and up are now. Do you suppose all those "fine machines" you mentioned, do you suppose the engineers took into account 20 inch wheels and compensated for them by altering the suspension geometry? Naaaah, righ? After all, it looks like all you're after is Bling-Bling.
Do you actually think that 14 years ago, (actually, more if you count design time), the Mark VIII suspension engineers foresaw the day when MYTURN (that's you, in case I didn't lose you after the first two sentences, and you're actually still reading) wanted to put 20 inch wheels on his ride 14 years down the road because he saw them on the new Mustangs and Chargers, and they thought "Hmm, maybe we should design this suspension to accept 20 inch wheels in 14 years. Yeah, that's a good idea. Wait... 20 Inch wheels? That'll never happen on cars!"?
Oh, and as I've told you before, (I know, you're probably not bright enough to remember), complete sentences, correct spelling and even a semblance of sentence structure will make people actually read your rants, and maybe even agree with you insted of just thinking "awww, he must be mentally challenged. Let's not say anything to him, he might start to cry."
Now please, you bore me. That, and I really don't like doing battle of wits with unarmed people It's just not fair, nor is it fun.
