I originally wanted to get staggered 19's but the shop I went to has to order them and it will take 6-8 weeks. They then said they can order the same rim in 20's and it would only take them about 7 days, so he recommended I go with them.

For those of you that went with 20's, do you regret not getting 19's instead, or are you happy with your decision. Did the ride quality decrease a lot from stock 18s? Anyone regret not getting 20's instead of 19's?

I'm planning on getting Eibach springs as well.

So what do you guys think, should I go with the 20's or hope to somehow find the 19's at a place that has them in stock?

I think the 20's would probably look better but I'm worried about the tire being too thin. Is it that much of a difference between the thickness of the tires on the 19's and 20's?

I need to make my mind up ASAP but I'm trying not to rush into it. Any info, comments, or suggestions would be highly appreciated.

I live in NY by the way..

 

i have 19"s and can't wait til my 20"s comed in! one week!

 

i got 20's and im happy, but everyone is different

 

I was going to get 19's but when I had them on my Audi I always seemed to have issues trying to get tires. I went with 20's (hesitantly) because of availability and have no regrets. I love the way they look. The ride is not that bad either, in fact I really do not notice that much of a difference. The only problem I have is rubbing, but only when turning to lock and in reverse. It is an easy fix, but i am lazy.

 

Yes, I am hesitant aswell, but i think i am going to just go for it and get the 20's. Actually the same rim as you have, but in the black finish. I havent seen a 2is with the black yet. The pics you sent me a few weeks back helped me out greatly. Thanks. I hope you don't mind me getting the same style.

 

^^^^

Don't mind at all - I thought that someone on the forum has them in black - either way, I think you will be very happy, be sure to post some pix.

 

Im going back to 18's :P

 

anyone else with 20's have any comments?

 

i have 19's and want 20's... i originally had a 97 SC and these 19's looked nice on it but when i switched cars these 19's look small on the IS's IMO.

 

My 20s should be installed on wendsday will see

 

20's will look really hot. I think 20's looks perfect for our IS. 19's kinda look too small in my opinion.

 

I like 19's it's not too bad, but I think 20's look great on the 2IS.

 

ive got 20s and im very happy with what ive got.... no regrets..... no change in ride quality im just thinking of going to a 30 profile in front to match rears...

 

I've had 20's on my IS and after i put the eibach kit on and the car settled the wheels were rubbing in the front when turning all the way, going fast in a turn and bumps on the road. I hated it so much and went to 19" and love it now. No rubbing and I think that they're big enough because the IS is't a big car.

 

Look, you will have a better ride with 18 = best ride
19's = Decent ride
20's = Deminished ride.

Plain and simple


AND YES i know 17's, 16's, and 15's, etc, will all offer better rides.
