Thank you guys for all the great feedback. I won't know unless i ask.

Your tires rubbing has nothing to do with your choice of 19" vs 20"! It's all about offset and tire size. When you decide to buy new rims find a shop where they are knowledgeable in fitting rims to a specific vehicle so you can fill up your wheel wells and still drop your G. If everyone purchased the right offset to begin with wheel spacers wouldn't exist....

I like the design of the TSWs more, but there are better wheels out there and it's worth it to spend a bit more to get them. Volks, Works, etc.

very true, save up and get a better wheel, but between the 2 tsw
