Upgrading from 19" to 20" - need feedback

So, after two years on 19s my ***** sack has grown big enough to upgrade my dropped hybrid to 20s. It was a difficult decission, because north NJ doesn't have decent shop that would help with perfect fitment, and I have no choice, but to shop online. Thanks to stormforge I finally got exact specs that prevent rubbing (or fender rolling), and now I feel pretty much comfortable buying new 20" shoes... and online!

I've been looking to do something that very few has done on this board with 3GS (at least since I've joined), and abandon "deep dish" look for something smoother. My current pick are Forgestar F14s (staggered, Gunmetal), and since there have been no posts showing 3GS wiht those type of wheels, I was wondering if there are any photoshop gurus willing to showoff their skills.
All work, or comments will be very appreciated.
Thanks

i would stick with 19's. There are plenty of members who have 20's here, I am sure they will help you out with everything you need to know.

if your looking for a ps, your probably better off posting a side profile pic of your car and a pic of the wheels in the ps forum.

you'll be fine. i ride on 30 series tires and i have no problems. its all about learning how to avoid potholes and dips. i always tell people drive a lowered car or car with rims is a whole new way of driving. you definitly learn how to drive differently.
