19 VS 20 Inch Wheels

I wanted to get 19inch wheels for the longest time but then i ran across these 20inch that i really like...

are there any major differences between 19" and 20"? Im currently lowered on Tein S tech...will it rub?

Specs of the wheels are

Sevas S22
Fronts are 20x8.5 offset 25
Rears are 20x10 offset 40

Does Gas Mileage play a roll if i go to 20inch, i know it might sound like NOOB question but just wondering.

thanks.

Won't really see/feel a big difference. If any, the 19's might ride better the 20's will handle better, but that's splitting hairs. Bigger diff between 18 and 20 than 19/20.

Really depends on the wheels you end up with. Offset and width will play a lot into what will fit or not fit.

What do you mean are there any major differences between them? Im guessing you are referring to the impact in performance?

Physics tells you you will be slower with 20's. Though it really depends on how much the differences in weight will be (assuming they are the same wheel, the 20's will be heavier than their 19's counterpart).

I probably wouldn't consider it a major difference, but with 20's, you will be slower and have a slightly rougher ride.
