liazon,
if you do it correctly with right size/overall diameter, and offset, 20s will neither rub, nor cause the odo to be off. same thing goes for 18/19, if you retain the oevrall diameter within +/- 2-3% of stock's overall diameter, your car will be fine.
if you want to look good(purely subjective, but most here wouyld def recommend so), lowering is def a "YES". if budget allows and you ddo not mind a bit firmer ride , get both springs and shocks(l-tuned or ilsteins) at the same time. or, for over $1k, you acn consider "coilovers" for your desired ride height.

I got 20's on mine with the H&R drop, and they do not rub at all. You shoudn't have a problem!!!! My odometer is not off at all. You will see a decrease in takeoff though. I have the Lowenhart's and those are some heavy *** wheels!!!! But you can't beat the look

thanks for your responses....i guess i'm a bit confused. i thought 19 and 20" wheels were considered "noisy". are 18's noisy too? do i have to stick with 17" wheels to keep em quiet ? one of the main reasons i traded into the gs4 is because i wanted a quiet, luxuerious ride. now it sounds like i can't have decent wheels and a quiet ride. seriously?

No matter what car you have, putting larger diameter wheels will ALWAYS give you more road noise.
