Similar. Aero matters too.
How to lower suspension?

Are your new rims wider, or are they the same width as the stock Lucid 20" wheels? The tyres look a little "stretched" but that could just be the lighting.
Someone suggested that if I get a bigger tire same wheel
Current
245/40-20 then it might fill the gap a little better.
Any suggestion on what tire might go with?
I think just close the little gaps and it’s perfect!

Why did you decide to go this route though? Is it for the range?
Mostly I didn’t want to look like every other Lucid so I changed it up.

I didnt mean changing the style of rims(i love your rims), but why change the sizing?
Remember, the 245 number is the millimeters of width of the tire. The second number is the percent of the diameter that is the height of the tire ("aspect ratio").
To close an inch gap at the fender, the tire would have to be much larger, like 2" diameter more. Might look silly on 20s.
Oh I thought maybe to close the gap a little bit. But I still love it either way just like to explore ideas next big thing

Do remember, making the size of the rims bigger will massively impact your range, because now it has to spin around a bigger circle.(rim and tire combined) For the OEM sizing, 20s and 21s for example have the same range as the combined circles are the same size, and the rubber is the same.
Also, I think it would look kind of... "off" because its going to look like a 911 dakar.(and by that I mean a meatier tire compared to the rim)
This car I think just has the illusion its lowed but in reality I think they just 22 inch wheels.

There was a lot of incorrect items stated as fact in the quoted post.
1. The stock 20s and 21s do not have the same rubber. See below.
2. The size of the rim does not impact (much) the overall size of the rim/tire combo (i.e. there is no "bigger circle" except when moving from 19" to 20"+, and that difference is 0.6"), and therefore it does not impact range. As I mentioned above, range is impacted by the width of the tire because it has a larger contact patch as well as a composition of the tire… More sticky will have more rolling resistance and lower range.

I believe that is a photoshop. in reality those rims would be 23"+!
So was this real?? or just CG, cause that was the type of look I was trying to go towards.
Okay its make believe lol, yeah those wheeel look massive like 22s or 23s even
Here's the original picture

Woah... even that looks fake! It looks fantastically bronze!

That explains it much more.
In addition, I believe @blueice89 went for 245s all around on 20s, so the range should be between that of a 19 and a 20, assuming the tire compound is range optimized.
