Nice wheels, for street 19's sound good but if you want to trailer your car to the auto show put on the 20's. They look heavy though and I'm sure handling will suffer but if that is not a factor in your equation then they'll look good.

i say get the 19's staggered or get the 20's the same all around.

There are very few tires on the market that would fit a 20x10 rim and be about the same as stock. Your car is going to be about .5" higher than stock if you use those. Though it may seem like not alot, trust me, you will get the vibe that your 8 is turning into a monster truck. Do some drop or stick with the 19's

you'd still need to drop it on the 19"... otherwise it'd look like a monster truck too
