Questions: TSW Snetterton v Konig Black lace, Falken 452s, and staggered wheel setup

I am trying to decide on tire and rim setup, but am unsure of what to get. I don't want anything that cost alot, but I am in need of tires and don't want to buy new ones for stock rims just to turn around and buy another set when I am ready to buy new rims. I was thinking around $2,000. I was thinking of either The TSW Snetterton, or the Konig Black lace. 2nd question is has anyone put 19's in front with 20's in rear a friend suggested it and i was skeptical at first, but it actually sounds good would it work? I like prefer the black lace but im not sure how much of a lip it will have. It's offset is 25 I believe. and how do I know if spacers are needed. Last and final question is has anyone got the Falken 452's? Are than any good for the money? Sorry about all the questions, but any help would be great. Thanks.

Unfortunately I cant answer all your questions....but You can put 19s in the front and 20s in the rear. That is the same setup I have. It gives a slight aggressive lean to the car I think. Heres a few pics of mine. Im changing rims soon, but will still go with staggered 19/20s Hope these help....Oh and the gunmetal rims you attached are SIK
What color is your G?

Heres a great website that has great prices. I know a few people that have bought from them and have been very happy. The set you want for $1700

that's still good. if you can't upgade to the 285 try out next time that's what i used to run onmine b4 now i'm running 305. if you're using it as a daily driver go with the 285 or the 275 both last long enough anything wider then 10.5" i advice 305 for a nice look but don't recommend for daily driving (they don't last long enough)
