Question 04 Sedan 19's or 20's

I need help! I have fallen in love with the 19 inch sport rims and I want to put them on my G. I have read numerous threads about using spacers and seen many pictures which I love the look. My dilema is in finding a reasonable priced set of these rims. I have searched and I found many 20 inch rims cheaper or for the same price. Does anyone have 20's on their car and how does it ride?

20" cast rockolas doesn't compare to 19" oem forged lightweight wheels IMHO:

Spacers? You think we really need them? This is w/ no spacers + Z/Coupe springs:

I'd go with the 19s versus heavy, cheap 20s. Are you talking about the M 19s or the Coupe 19s. I think with the M 19s you need to run spacers, but unless you are pretty low you don't need spacers on the Coupe 19s, they will look flush.

I vote 19's.

I know 20's is 1" more, but it looks too big IMHO

depends what your going for. looks or speed.
if the weight difference doesnt bother you, i say 20s, although it does kill you mpg 2-4 less than average..
my 20s, 245/285s i get about 15city 20-22freeway.

19s good also

Keep in mind that tires for 19's are more expensive than those for the 20's based on the odd and seemingly unpopular wheel size. But if the car is going to be daily driven, I recommend 19's so that you get more tire life, and if the suspension will be dropped more than 1 inch, get a camber kit to preserve the life of the tires. Have the tires rotated, balanced and aligned on a regular basis.
