19inch vs. 20inch wheels

Anyone know the pros and cons if I upgrade to 20" wheels? Besides from the weight difference, will performance be that much affected? What about positive camber problem? Thanks.

No 20's for me.

It may not be so much the difference in the wheel weight....but check out the tires. Too heavy for performance. If all you want is looks...go ahead.

How much difference is there in the tire weight between 19's and 20's?

You're also sacrificing performance.. personally I want to go with 19's.. I have 20's right now and I love them. I was also planning on getting 18's for track wheels but that means i'm going to be spending too much money on my car.. 2 sets of wheels and i'm not going to be going to track much. It's just a waste. Performance of 19's isn't going to get much better than stock (19's setup).. 20's you're going to be sacrificing even more performance.. personally for performance.. I would go with 18's.. but you sacrifice looks. 19's dumped looks gangster all in it's own anyways.. 20's are just a "bling factor" mod. Camber does need slight adjustments depending on the setup in it's entirety.

speaking of sizes...this is my first week driving with 19's....and i just realized that my MPG is less....at 1/2 tank i only got about 100miles on them...

is that normal or am I just driving too aggressively?

^^when I first put my 19s on my mpg also went down. After I resetted the ecu it started to slow get better. Now I'm at 300 miles per full tank compared to 200-230ish when I first put the wheels on. I can't confirm that resetting the ecu really did anything though.

When I got my 19s I dropped down to about 240 per tank. But then just in the past few weeks it shot up to 300 per tank without me doing anything. Our cars are fickle...
