i voted 19s. i've got 20s, but 19s would be just right. problem i see is TIRES. seems like there are numerous 20 inch options, but few 19 inch options. just my opinion.

I definately considered this...

Falken Tire makes quite a few options for 19's. Check out thier FK-452 model. I think that is what CainMotorSports has on his ride. His car is the 2nd black one with the 19's (sick ride)...

http://www.falkentire.com/fk452_sizes.html

If I get 19's I would run 255/40/19 Front and 275/40/19 Rear...

They also have a 285/35/19 (Rear) but it is slightly smaller than the 255/40/09. I want the back tire to be slightly larger in diameter and wider.

I'd go with a 19/20" setup if you can find one that you like. I think 20" fits great for the rear but a tad big for the front, and 19s are great up front but a little small for the rear. I was going to get 20s but couldn't find a tire I was happy with(275 is too narrow, 305 or 315 is too expensive and anything with a 30sidewall looks stupid)

Go with 20's I think they are a good fit and make the stance of the car look good too. I would have to agree that 19 are an odd size and you will pay more for the tires, and will be limited on selection.

if your goal is to balance looks and performance the 19"s will be better. All looks go for the 20's. The bigger tire/wheel combo will sap your power

I just put 20's on yesterday (20X8.5 and 20X10), I was going to run 19/20 but, your wheel selection may be limited. Seems thatmost wheels are only available in 18 and 20". I went with 255/40/20 fronts and 275/40/20 rears.
