19's or 20's?

im looking at the MMR GT1's but not sure if i should get the 19's or the 20's.
I wanna stagger them so the 19s would be 19/8.5 front 19/9.5 back and the 20s would be 20/8.5 front 20/10 back.

im leaning more towards the 20s just because i think it looks better with the big lip in the back, but the 19s are cool too, not to mention there cheaper ...opinions?

I went to 19's cause i dont plan to get a body kit or add on lip or sides. I think 20's look big on the car unless your G is slammed. Just depends that's just me..

19"s arent necessarily cheaper as in overall package. 20" tires are usually less expensive than 19" tires. if you're getting wheels purely for aesthetics, go for 20"s.

I was thinking of getting the same rims for my sedan, which I am lowered with Tein S-Techs. I am only worried about my rear fenders, which I am thinking I may have to roll.

Also if you get 20's you will need to roll on 35series in front and 30series tire in rear. I think it will make the sedan ride rougher. That is why I am leaning towards 19's.

nope... 20" tires usually run cheaper since its a more common size... 19''s are not too common on most cars.


You can check on tire rack too if you doubt me.

yeah, I checked prices and 20's were way cheaper than 19's. They consider 19's a kinda odd ball size, but it's becoming more common.

I went 20" because 19" wheels with lips tend to look smallish. 20"s look huge but when lowered they look great imo.

20's FTMFW!

19's if you dont wanna sacrifice performance. 20's if your in it for looks IMO.
