Default What size?

I am looking at buying some new wheels and wanted to know what people sugessted for size. I have been going back and forth between 19" and 20". What do most people suggest? What are the differences in ride quality and rode noise? Also should I go staggerd or not?

Here we go again. When it comes to wheel size, it's all a matter of preference. Some people like the 19 inch rim slammed look, others like the way 20's look. You need to determine what you like, not what others think.

Some have mentioned ride quality goes down with 20's and there is more road noise. I've got 20's to be put on in less than a week. I can't imagine ride deteriorates that much, but I have to see for myself. (some people are more picky than others)

I def dont want it slamed. I like it the hight it is. I am to tall to be trying to drop down it the car. I just want it to look good but have decent ride quality and fill the wheel wells.

then you want 19's with eibach springs. they will fill the gap perfectly and be a very mild drop to help close the wheel gap.
