yes, you will have less sidewall on your tires to absorb impact and stiffer spring rates

depend on what you going for.
19s is going to be better ride quality of couse
but 20's going to look more baller ;]
but also with 20's you need a lip to make it look right on our cars.
but its all depend on what you going for
gl with your difficult decision because a lot of people went through this.

I believe only YOU can answer that question. However, 19" seems to be popular within the community. And as for ride, there are too many factor that's involved in it. Your car can ride like a caddy or a brick depending on your suspension setup.

^ It's so true ^ No way slammed car looks better than mild dropped or vice versa.
