it depends what you want to do with the car. Twenties are kinda big but they look good. I have a set of twenties on my car that i put on yesterday and it didnt take any fun out of driving the car. if your going to track the car stay away from the twenties. if you really want the look of twenties get em and put some slicks on your oem 19s for track days. it also depends on how much your willing to spend.

If you want maximum performance then stick with the OEM's or get smaller/lighter wheels. If you want to go for looks, then 20's will look nice, provided you are lowered and get a proper set of premium wheels and not some ghetto-fabulous chromers. 20's will likely weigh much more (5+lbs of unsprung weight on each corner) than your forged 19's and will definitely slow your car down.

volks are a great choice but go with 19x9 front or 19x10 rear atleast then no reason for spacers. yo could even do 9.5 front 10.5 rear. i personally like the way my car drives with my twentie by 10s in the rear on the street more grip for when im pushin corners.but ya it would be a better and safer choice to go with a wider wheel screw the spacers
