I run the 265/50/20's in the summer and they aren't that uncomfortable. Of course you feel more of the road but it's actually a decent ride.

I definitely feel more of the road but it's not that bad. I've run over cracks and hit small pot holes.. not problem. I feel it but really no impact on driving.

Add some bigger brake rotors to copunteract the performance loss you will be getting from heavier wheels. Adding +3" wheels over stock can add over 20ft to your stopping distance and that can make a difference if you end up piled up in the back of somebody but very few people actually seem to care about this or are too cheap to upgrade even tho' they just spent several grand on a bling item.

perfectly true. if you add bigger rims, you need bigger brakes. my brother had a Honda with donuts on his. but when he upgraded with rims, he had a hard time stopping so figured that OEM brakes was alittle old and wasn't good enough for 'rims' in general. so brakes is an important thing rather than driving the car.
