Hi everyone I'm a newbie on this forum but I owned a Ford Contour 1995 and your web site look like what I need

so I wanted to know......do you now if it's very difficult to fit 20 inches wheels on a Ford Contour with 225/30r20 tires...Do you think it will rubbing ???


but I know it's possible because I saw a Contour on the internet with 20"...but they don't give any details on that so that's why I ask you?? Do You have any experience with 20's on a Contour ???

thanks a lot!

First of all, 20"s are a bit much, don't do it.

Second, you will have to roll the fenders and possibly cut some fender lining. If offset isn't perfect may or may not need spacers.

Third, 20"s are a bit much, don't do it.

it's been done by one person....and i'm not a fan. 18's are nice, tasetfull 19's also come out nice, but IMO 20's on a contour look about as good as 130 spoke 10's.

the user wit the 20" wheels is liquidX... i think hes been banned.... im not really upto date with that, but someone by the name of LadyX has posted pics of his car (the one with 20" wheels) in the vids/pics section.

IMO i think the 20's look awesome and fill out the wheel gap very well. I dont know if they will work on stock suspension because the huge spring perch thats in the way. i know the wheels are SSW, but i dont know what model they are.

20s are mad t!t3 yo!!11 pimp my ride put 20s on a shopping cart and it was teh $hit!!!


The Contour is about sport. 20s are slow as balls, and very unresponsive. Why ruin the handling of a nice car and make it look stupid all at once?

He has ground controls and Koni's. Did NOT have to roll any fenders, did NOT remove ANY linings, and there is NO rubbing AT ALL, even at maxxed out 5mph turns.

I have 19's and that's as far as I'd go.

Look at the distance between LiquidX's rim and the ground in the above pic, and you'll understand why he dented them, the first time he went for a long distance drive. It's just WAY too little of a sidewall.

Yeah, something like a 225/15/20 tire...Basically a rubberband, which would not survive a day in MI.

his wheels look amazing on the car and no rubbing, yes you HAVE TO run rubber bands but if your roads are good then cool.

First of all...No I don't live in Romeo...I don't why you said that RawBurt ???

Second...yes I know it's very big 20" for a Contour but I want to be original and have the bigger wheels I can without cutting the fenders and I know a Contour can be a sport car if it got a v6 engine and the SVT body kit and all that...but me I've only the 4 cylinder engine and I don't really go fast with my contour I like more the look than the power so that's why I want 20" wheels...it's for the look...

and Third...I don't know why I couldn't put 20's on my car if some one alreaydy did it without any modification to the fenders but NO i don't have original shocks...right now yes but the next summer I put an Air Suspension on my ConTour and after that I put the 20's if it fits again....but like a said I don,t know if the 20's will fits now I'll have Air Bags on my car...


...but I will see when I get my air suspension...the wheels are not my priority right now...

...Someone already put 20's. Not original anymore. Need to do either 21's, or 13's.

Oh, I know the GC/Koni combo isn't needed for this set up. I'm still appauled looking at them in June and watching the wheels turn, and rotate, and NOT rub... hypnotic almost.


edit:

Oh, Airbags + 20's + 4 banger= Not moving... AT ALL.

Good luck with those bags, I'm pretty sure you CAN NOT fit air bags and 20's without modifying the wheel lining, as the bags come down lower like strut perches, which get in teh way with anything over 17"s.

If you run bigger than an 18" wheel and tire combo you will rub the spring perches.

I said this because I know of one in Romeo. Thats all, I figured it was worth a shot becuase I dont see very many bagged contours.

Apparently you have a hard time reading. X is running 20's on stock struts w/ B&G springs. You don't have to cut off the spring perches

alright, everytime i read about anything above an 18" wheel and tire it would say that you need coilovers or you'll rub the perches, my bad.

Alex, didn't you rub with your 18's and Koni's?

...Maybe that was just the fenders, though.

Guys guys guys! Either all these statements seem ignorant, or I have been hanging around X for too long! You guys are forgetting that offset is one of the most important factors for determining if a wheel & tire combo will rub or not! X used to rub with his old 18's because they were +40mm offset. He does not rub with his 20's because they are +38mm offset, which seems to be the optimum offset for these cars as long as you are using a 7-7.5" wide wheel.

Specs for his setup once again:
Springs: B & G Autobahn
Struts: Stock SVT
Wheels: 20"x7.5" Offset: +38mm

I know offset is the key, shoot, I rub a TAD with my 17" BBS's in the inside fener wheel well. Mine are a +45 offset, though. So, when does X plan on selling them beasts?!

dude make your car lay out flat on 18's that would be way sweeter. Cut the rear fender wells out entirelly. so when you open the door the tire is there. the real problem is going to come from the front. You'll need custom a-arms more than likely, and you'd probably need to cut out those fender wells as well.

follow the idea of this civic. i call these rides mini truck cars, because they follow the model of a mini truck. sit as low as possible and be gangstar.

seriously do it, it's a lot of work and fabrication so if you can't weld, find someone who can.

No offense, but do you honestly call him X in person? I would laugh at my S.O. if they wanted me to call them by a nickname. For some reason I feel the same way about this, as I do about people referring to themselves in the 3rd person.

Have you ever been in a relationship Mark? Did your wife or girlfriend not call you "babe" and vice versa when she calls for you? Well I think that should answer your question. I refer to my boyfriend as "X" when speaking to other people about him. Sure saves me allot of time and words as opposed to saying or typing "my boyfriend" or even "my baby".

Those would be "get a room" terms and this is a car website, not The Love Connection. It just makes sense for that is his nickname since highschool and I am used to calling him that plain & simple . BTW, wasn't this thread about wheels & tires?

C'mon Mark, you know this is really X in disgusie. After his banning he just couldnt live with only have C2 to whore his ride and his various suspension set-ups so he created a fictitious personality and now posts here. I'm so sure his GF knows all about Offsets

LOL! Which was also something I was thinking, but was going to keep it to myself. But to answer your question "LadyX", yes I've called girlfriends "babe, baby, etc." In my eyes, "X" is one of those nicknames that a guy's buddies call you in High School, then grow out of it before you turn 20. Is "X" even the first letter of "X"'s name? I don't believe he's ever told anyone his name.

He's taught me well. Sorry to hear that your S.O. is not interested in your hobbies and made you think that we are all car goofs . What other girl would stick around car meets, travel 750 miles to go to a freaking car get together and BBQ when they can be in the mall getting their nails done? He's a lucky guy and sorry if that offended you cause it wasn't intentional. Chad knows I have my own car enthusiasm as he met me in person. Oh well, go pshychics!...

No, Gigi is in fact a REAL person, she's VERY cool and knows more than you think. X babbles on about car crap all day, and she is forced to listen too it, lol.


No need for disrespecting her, Gigi hasn't done anything on here, in fact, she's been more helpful in this thread then any of us, and she does know her stuff.

yes I now what you mean....but It would be too much trouble and too expensive too cut out all the fender....or even do a "bodydrop" like the truck...instead, I put an SVT bodykit with an air suspension so it touch the ground too but the car is a little higher...and anyway I have an ConTour GL so I find it so ugly with no bodykit...and for the wheels I not sure to put 20's I'll see if it fits again with the airbags...

x also took a road trip with the 20s when he got them and took them off as soon as he got back and went back to 19s or even 18s for daily driving. unless you have a show car dont bother.

He took them off as he bent one on his way back from Atlanta. He got the 18's for long haul trips and the like. he has since sold his 18's to skrilla and uses the 20's for daily driving.

Car handles amazing with the 20's, by the way, and from his word and from seeing them, doesn't seem to slow him up TOO much, either. They also don't weigh as much as you think.

How much does a replacement rim cost when he hits a hard pothole?
How good will they look when you get curb rash from just parking near anything? Don't ever turn the wheel on anything but perfect pavement.
How much conforming does that tire do on uneven or rough road surfaces.

Like THAT has never been done before. I'm sure everyone will immediately look at you because they've never seen big wheels.

Ummm. Isn't that a contradiction?
How come everyone spends so much money trying to be different...and then they all end up the same?

Then why even worry about it or waste peoples time with it?

There are some people who have already bagged their cars here (that's original too by the way) and you should have started a post about cost/avialability/how-to for bagging first.

Not sure, but he bent one do to a pot hole. Didn't cost much for repair from my understanding. But yeah... rubber bands, lol. Wouldn't survive my driveway, let alone any freeway around here.

HEY WARMONGER.....

First...I don't Know where you are living...Beverly Hills or some kind of [censored] like that but where ME I'm living we don't see 20's on a "small" car like a Contour very often...if we see 20's on a car it will be on a SUV' or big luxury car like a mercedes and all that kind of car but all the other cars have lil' [censored] 15" wheels.... SO YES IT WILL BE [censored] ORIGINAL AND EVERYONE WILL TURN HEADS...

Second...Yes maybe it's a contraction but it's because FRENCH is my first language....I just learn english at school SO IT'S NORMAL THAT I MAKE SOME MISTAKE IN MY WORDS!!! And I don't know what you mean...people who really wants to be different put different things on their cars so it's not a SVT Contour with 17" rims like everyone have....

Third...."I lost the time of the people" like you said becasue even if it's not my priority I will put wheels soon and DONT YOU EVER THINK THAT IT'S IMPORTANT SOMETIME TO MAKE PLANS OF WHAT YOU WANTS SO YOU DONT MAKE MISTAKE!!!! and WHY I DONT ASK ANY QUESTION ON BAGGING MY CAR ???? it's because I KNOW IT and I KNOW IT BETTER THAN EVERYONE ELSE ON THIS FORUM i'm sure....maybe it's not true maybe some one know better than me...but I worked in a shop where they specialize in air suspension so i know it very well!!!!

and finally...20 inch rims are stronger than you think....my friend got 20's with 255/35/20 tires on his Ford Ranger for years now....and he don't had any problems with them...his wheels brights as hell and they don't have a scrach on it and he's rollin' it EVERYDAY!!!he hits pothole a lot and his wheels are #1!!!! SO DON'T TALK ABOUT THINGS YOU DON'T KNOW FUUUCKER!!!!

BwaHahahahahahahah!
You totally made my night. I didn't say a "contraction", I said "CONTRADICTION"!
It means you said two (2) opposite things in one sentence. Such as:
"I want to do 20's because they are original.."
and then:
"I know it will work because someone else did 20's..."

Then you say 20's are so stong....because your friend had them. And he has a doggone Ford RANGER...TRUCK! Bwahahaha
No wonder his 20's are so strong. Ford Trucks are built Ford Tough right? This of course is written right after the post where the guy said X bent a rim and had to have it straightened. (BTW I've got no problems against X's car, it looks pretty good, rims and all)

And then you really crack me up with the beverly hills comments. NO ONE there would even own a contour, let alone one with 20's. Look at my sig, I'm in friggin Lower Alabama! Bwahahahaha.

As far as the language barrier...I didn't even notice. You've got better English than some of the americans I've met.

Oh yeah, You're a French speaker and you say you know a lot about bags......I'd have guessed that ANYWAY.
Hehehe

it's the fact to have 20's that is original it's the fact I have 20's on a CONTOUR and not on a TRUCK

Listen, kid. I think twenty inch wheels are a stupid fad. So do some other people here. I see you've run into a few of them. The whole "Pimp My Ride" thing just passed me by.

Huge wheels make the car ride, handle, and generally do everything a car does, worse.

But they look blingin'. That's all they have.

Cars with big wheels, bags, LCD monitors in every orifice: they're pretty dumb. It's like every kid in America (and Canada) wants their parents basement to look really cool, and roll around on manhole covers.

And they all look the same!

But wait, you'll be the only Contour around with 20s!

Buy a Festiva and pimp that. It'll be more original.

So you're doing this to be different, right? It's all for looks?

Then why a Contour? I love the platform, but these cars are not particularly sexy-looking. They drive nice, but you don't seem to care about ride or handling, so that must not matter to you.

Personally, I think newer Hondas look really nice. Why don't you go find a forum of Honda owners and tell them you want to bag a Honda, and put 20's on it. I bet the reception will be a lot warmer.

So you came, and you asked: Can I do it?

We said: it's a dumb idea, but it's possible.

You argued that it is indeed, a good idea.

Well it's not. If you want to do it, you know it's possible, so do it. On a bagged car? Maybe, I don't know. It depends on the setup. Which... oh yeah, you don't have yet.

We've told you all we know. So why are you still here? You're not asking for information, you're asking us to tell you that yes, you can put twenty inch wheels on your car, and it will be great, so go do it. Well, that's not going to happen. They suck, and you'd be a fool for doing it. Some people, like X, are happy being fools. They have the disposable income and the desire to do it, just to do it. But they know that running tiny tires isn't really a "good" idea. You seem to have trouble getting it throgh your skull. I would have though the large "STFU" graphic would have helped, but I guess not.

You got the facts. What more do you want?

so he's not the best forum poster. lol

i give him credit for doing what he wants to do. I'm sure he thought he'd see a warmer reception but this forum dosne't seem to have a wide variety of tastes. I love my SVT for its ride, handling and other reasons. Other people just aren't into it. As long as he's trying to do something unique and not something rice or "pimp my ride"ish then i'm going to tell him to do it. granted if all he wants to do is slap on some 20's and call it a day.. that's just plain ghetto.

I just kind of have to back the guy up some. so what he dosen't want a 14 second 1/4, .9g skidpad contour. maybe he wants a unique ride that turns heads. maybe he'll be the first to do something unique that stands apart. maybe he won't. but maybe we shouldn't be so quick to bash on him.. after all its just a 4 banger tour so what if it ends up crappy (LOL i just lit the fuse for all you non-SVTers)

OK it seems I offense some other people here and it was not my intention.....I don't tell you you're stupid because you say 20's don't go on a Contour I just say that it is possible and that I will propably do it but it's not sure...And Auto-X I understand what you means but me it's not to do like every and follow the fashion that a put 20's and bagz on my car...it's because I always dream about having a car with air suspension and I love big wheels too I think it goes well with the air suspension....I love the look of a SVT contour with 17" rims too but when I see svt Contour here in Quebec it's always that way that they are and I don't want to be like them and it's a personal choice....maybe if I had a 1999 SVT Contour I could put 17" on it but no i only own a 1995 2.0L Contour that is very not powerful and that's why I think it's perfect to put air bags and 20's wheels becasue I will not lose power or handling or all that because and dont do speed with my Contour....I always liked more the lowrider than the ricers and that's another reason Why I do that on my car...

Why I do that on a Contour ?? because like i said i love lowrider and i always wanted to put air suspension on my car so I choose a big 4 doors sedan because it's a good cars to do that i think....I had other cars in my choices like a Dodge Stratus or even a pick-up....put I saw that Contour on my way home and it seems realy great so I stop to see it and I Bought it and i'm really happy....so that's why I choose a Contour...by the way a HATE hondas and i will never buy a honda and I don't think their receptions will be greater than yours because all hondas owner want the same again.....RICERS...

By the way on don't have my air suspension yet because HERE in QUEBEC we have a winter with a lot of snow which is very not a good idea to go in snow with a air suspension so that's why a wait until the spring to do it....unless you give me money so I can buy a winter car but now i don't have the money to buy a winter car yet...


and yes i do it all for the look and for my OWN personal satisfaction not for others....because the first thing that make me love a car it's his look...

Why I still here ??? Because it's a FORUM and what's a Forum ???...it's a place where we can discuss about anything and get information for now OR FOR THE FUTURE!!!! I it,s okay I got the information on 20's that i wanted to now I can talk about another things...

and you know....I know that I can bent my wheels if I hit a pothole but it's a chance to take....i could put a SVT engine in my contour and do speed and blow out my engine ...it will be the same cost than a broken wheels or even more expensive....so there's good side and bad side to anythings and then you make the choice what chance do you take I choose to take I chance to bent my wheels...

And sorry if I don't understand your "STFU" grafic...it's because i'm not very good in english and I don't know what it means in french...

And i'm sorry "warmonger" and everyone else if I hurt yourself by what I said on my other post but it's because "warmonger" said me that I was losing people's time because I was asking if 20's rims fit on a Contour when I know that I don't buy 20's right now....and that really make me angry....I had never speak to him and he said me go out and not waste the time of others with my stupid question....but My only intention was to get some information for FUTURE PLANS!!! It's like he was saying me that I was not welcomme on this forum....

so that's what I wanted to say and now I have finish and I don't want to start a war with you...because it's just a question of taste...some people like the power and other like the look of the cars...and they're both very fine...so sorry I can go and find another Forum if it's really what you want ??????????...or we can all forget this question on 20 inch rims and talk of other things....so what do you choose ??? (by the way sorry for the extra long text)

see you soon

Oh man..
Don't take it so hard. I have no problem with you liking the way 20's look. I WANT you to come and become a member of the forum and I WANT you to stick up for your opinion. If you want 20's then put them on. Just don't think it is original. That is where I had to laugh as it is NOT original anymore.
As far as the wasting time comment, you were asking about 20's and then when you were getting a little grief you said that you weren't going to do it right now anyway. So it seemed like you were trying to tell us that it didn't matter that much. So I said why waste the time.

I still think putting bags and 20s is not original. I think with the right car it will look nice....For THAT TYPE of car. I wont own one myself. If you like it then that is a GOOD ENOUGH reason without saying you are trying to be original.

So no hard feelings at all. And I didn't get mad that you called me a fuuuukker because I did poke you in the eye pretty good. I actually had fun reading it but I don't want it to be personal.
Hey, I'm just kind of a hard man. I speak my mind (intelligently) and expect the same.

Now if it were Todras or Demon, I'd mean EVERY Word!
