Any reasons to go with 19s vs. 20s?
First off I plan to go with all 4 the same since my GS is AWD and I want to be able to rotate. Also do not plan to drop this car.
I have 19" Axis Milanos on my Maxima and they look friggin huge, so I'm thinking 19s might be just about right on the GS. Just wondering if there are any benefits to either 19s or 20s on a GS? One over the other I mean.
The GS doesn't have the glass smooth ride of say an LS to begin with, so that tiny bit more sidewall of 19s might be nice.....

What wheels and offset are you looking at?

Hope this helps.....
here's my car on 19's
and here it is on 20's
The height was not changed between changing the wheels. I have Megan racing EZ coil overs. in my opinion, 19's look good on the car. but if you want less wheel gap without making the car too low, go with 20's. but since you're not planning on lowering the car, i would go with 20's

I have 19's and I think it looks great. Also have AWD but I'm lowered on RCA blocks.
Off topic but how did the you (poster above me) get the yellow fog look? Just yellow vinyl lens?

And to the OP, like everyone, including yourself, has said, 19's will allow for more sidewall and a comfier ride than the 20's, but 19" tires are typically more expensive, and some sizes are harder to find. So many cars come with 20's from the factory, so tires are a plenty
But the best thing about the GS, like redb202's car, it looks great on either size! Throw on the Maxima wheels and see how they look, trial and error is often the best way to decide. You can see how they sit and if you're happy with the look! Post some pics if you do!

Yup!! AWD. I do get the infamous wobble and vibration... i just deal with it cuz i LOVE how the car looks when its dropped... 
Thanks Vossen!!!! I definitely love these wheels on the car. I've always wanted to own Vossen wheels!!! Even before i got my GS when my co worker would be on Luxury4Play all day at work. Thats how i found out about your wheels. 
Man, your 3GS looks sick on those CV1's!
