Default 20's or 19's ?

ahhh yes the age old battle between 19's and 20's. what do you folks prefer more? reason why I ask this is because I put 20's on my girlfriends 99 GS400 and not that the ride is that bad, but of course there is a markedly noticeable difference from 18's to 20's. obviously the amount of side wall is a big factor, but those of you who have had both sizes I would like to read what you folks have to say about them...reason? going to buy rims soon...not sure what size to go with.

Smile if i have the money....

i'll go with 19's, but for now i'm cool with 18's & the ride is still nice & smooth... (my 2 cents!)

20's for me. 18''s too small for aggressive GS. at least 19'' to begin with.

i say 20's cus the GS just begs 4 20's but if u r worried about ride or losing power than go smaller...if u really like comfort than go 19's with the fat tire set up...that would give u comfort....

Same here, the look of any lowered vehicle with the wheelwell full to the brim (with the proper spec'd tire/wheel fittiment) is beautiful sight.

Go on ahead and get urself some 20s, looks GOOD on ya!
