I'm wishing I would have went 35 profile in the rear. I have 255/35 front and 285/30 rear and while they are close to the stock o/d (27" front .. 26.1" rear), it looks wrongggggg.

if you give this a shot please PM me the results : )

 

Here's my 20s. Noticeable improvement in the handling over the stock 18s that came on it, but a little more road noise and not as smooth, and last time I checked the 20" tires cost quite a bit less than the 19s, I guess because there are more companies making 20s.

The 20's look right at home on your car.

I think a dark-colored 20" wheel looks good, but a 20" chromed or light-colored wheel might look too "ballin".

 

I've also noticed that 20's with a significant lip don't look as big as 19's that go all the way to the edge.

 

I am running 19 x 9.5 all around, Drag DR-37. Very happy.

 

If the car is lowered then the 20s look good

 

I'm on 20s right now without being lowered and my car looks ridiculous. I can't wait to get some coils D:

 

I've been contemplating the same thing but think ultimately, despite the cost, I'll go with 19's. I owned a Neon with 18's running 35 profiles for quite a few years and the day to day of dealing with the ride was crazy. Want to see how you feel about low profile tires, take a long drive somewhere (100's of miles). Maybe more manufacturers will make 19's as time goes by and tire prices will come down for them. If I find an 18 I really like maybe I'll just stick with them.

 

These AMR 19's are the one's I'm currently saving up for.

 

That will look great! I did the same same thing, only with 18s in the front and 19s in the rear. I went with 255/45/18s front (27.0 diameter) and 275/40/4019s rear (27.7 diameter).

I think as long as you are within 5% front to rear the ABS will be unaffected.
