Default 19s or 20s

Contemplating getting aftermarket wheels. Question for those of you lowered, 19s or 20s? How's the ride as far as comfort goes? Thanks.

I have a set of 19" Work VS XX (from my sold 2IS) and wish they would have looked good on my GS but they just looked too small, so i stayed stock. I think its due to the face not extending all the way to the edge of the lip. Personally, i think 20's just seem more proportional on a GS.

I have 20" classic lip, I think they are a little small. Wish I would have gotten 21" I think 21" would be a perfect fit for our GS4

Stock F-Sport comes 19"s so you either get 20"s or stay where your at...

Want a different look from stock. Contemplating 20s but unsure of ride comfort. I'm lowered on tanabes. How do the 20s feel?

I am lowered on Tanabe and with 20's, ride just like stock to me. I didn't notice anything from stock. Running 245/35/20 +30 front and 285/30/20 +45 rear, no rub!

You should get the largest one that gives you the right feel.

Hard to know what the right feel is unless I get in someone else's car lowered and riding on 20s. I'm liking the ride now on stock rims. Just wondering if there's a drastic change going to 20s.

Saw the pic of your car, jmtamu. Those 20s really filled up the wheel gap since they are also wider. Looks awesome. Since ride comfort doesn't suffer, time to go wheel shopping.
