Any difference in ride between 20" or 19" wheels?
I am trading out my hideous 20" wheels this week. I am also going to be lowering my car a bit with L-tuned shocks and springs. I started thinking that maybe I should get 19" wheels instead of 20" to save the ride a little bit, especially since I am changing the suspension. My question is, will it even matter to downsize 1 inch, or should I just stick with the 20s as the combination will just make the ride rougher anyway?

If anything makes the ride rougher, its adding TRD Blue sway bars and any suspension bars, b/c they make the car much stiffer.

if you use the normal 19 setup (245/35, 275/30) and the normal 20 setup (245/35, 275/30), then yes the ride is the same. If you go with the "fat" 19 setup (245/40, 275/35) then you will have a better ride on the 19s. If the roads are not absolutely horrible where you live then 20s will be fine.
As information, the L-Tuned drop only degrades the ride by about 10-15%, nothing major at all.
Have fun!
