quality of ride between 19 and 20 will be no big difference. esp if your running low profile tires.........so if your not gonna ride that low...I would get 20's...........his car looks good w/ 19's b/c its low......hope this helps

20's on the LS is the way to go.

Exactly what junjdm said.

I had 20's with 30 series tires and it didn't feel any different than my 19's with 35 series tires. You'll probably be rocking 20's with 35 series tires anyway.

You can still will look low depending on your drop but with more ground clearance than with 19's.

I'm running 215/35/19 up front and 235/35/19 in the rears

... the ride on the coilovers. I have no complaints. Compared to my previous cars that I had on coilovers... the ride is very smooth...

How can that be winter mode? Your car is clean!

BTW, good choice of wheel style for winter. The large openings and few number of spokes make for much easier cleaning.
