Switching to bigger Sydney 20” alloy wheels

DS Automobiles DS 4 & DS 4 CROSS

Hi,

There was no option when ordering a car to add Sydney 20” wheels for Performance line+ trim, so is there will be any potential problem or restriction to switch stock Minneapolis 19” 205/55 R19 for Sydney 20” 245/40 R20 alloys?

Other than feeling the bumps a little more, there is no problem switching the wheels to Sydney :slight_smile:

Hi @alexm,

so Suspension and Active Scan Suspension will be calibrated by itself after putting Sydneys? :slight_smile:

Thank you very much!

I have the 20" Sydney alloys on my Performance+, I didn’t realise there was no option to add these on a new build ?
My car was brand new unregistered, it came with the 20" Sydney alloys, plus some other optional extras already on the car !
I told my dealership the model and spec I wanted and they managed to find two cars in stock, one was Pearl White, the other Grey, the Pearl had almost every spec and optional extra that I was looking for and it was already built car in stock, but we had to be quick to secure it, I needed to make my mind up pretty much straight away when they rang with the price, I waited less than 2 weeks for it to arrive.

As for the 20" Sydney alloys, they really do make a difference to the look of the car, they fill the arches lovely and give the car a bit of an aggressive lower looking stance.

Ride/ road noise, theres nothing negative to say if I’m honest.

My previous car, a Volvo R Design V40 had the upgraded 18" alloy, (standard was 17") , the ride quality and road noise was horrendous on some surfaces !
They also had a 19" alloy as an optional extra , I dread to think how bad that would have been.
The Volvo also needed an adaption to the steering lock for 18" and 19" because the larger alloys interfered with the inner wheel arch if the adaption wasn’t done.

The turning circle on the DS4 with the 20" alloy is incredible compared to the Volvo with 18" alloy.
I was a bit worried that the ride & road noise with the 20" alloy on the DS would be similar or even worse than the Volvo but it’s like driving a Rolls Royce in comparison.
