so a better choice would be to go with 19s then huh? I was thinking either 19 inch BBS LM's or 19 inch HRE 540R's I think the 20 inch 540Rs will look better.

 

With 19's, you have the advantage of running a "fat" set-up like some of the members have already noted and not worry as much in comparison to 20's.

 

the reason I went 20's is because I kept hearing people say that they originally went with 19's and then upgraded to 20's later. After thinking about it and test fitting, I went with 20's, which I love. I wont lie, I will be picking up a cheap set of 19's for longer road trips so I will have something to provide a bit of cushion between the rim and the pothole, but I wont be parting with my 20's anytime soon as I think they make the car.

JMHO, either way it sounds like a step up...

 

throw some dubs on that betty

 

I was planning to run TEIN CS or SS. Im gonna lower it about 2 inches around i guess. Still debating...what are tire price differences? Are 20 inch tires really that much more expensive? I plan on getting BBS LM's.

 

Everyone will tell you that if you plan on running 20's, that you should definately get the Tein CS and not SS. The ride will be very harsh if you go with the SS. The spring rates are much stiffer. I believe RominL did a review of all the different Tein coilovers that he's experienced through the years. You may want to search it. Tires are not that much more expensive in 20" over 19." If you can afford 20" BBS LM's, you need not worry about tire prices. 20" BBS LMs may be verrrrry difficult to obtain also.
