LOL. To the OP.If you are just going for more show 19/20 is fine... if you are going to be tracking 18/19 is going to be your choice... on 20" wheels you can only lower a little bit without having to go Negative Camber or rubbing...I havent hand to Negative camber and I dont rub, but that will all depend on the rim size+offset...if you need help with size/offset contact a member by the name of ATILLA.

Yup, sure are. Even though my BBS's weight **** all, they're still hopeless compared to the stock size. I wish I had the original rims, l'd just spray them black and use them next time l'm on a track....

go straight for 22s.

20s fit too easy. you need 22s for a truly extreme fit.

I'm just not a fan of 20s on low end sports cars.

And honestly I hate that high end manufacturers have started putting 20s on their cars from the factory... granted it LOOKS good because they keep making the fenders bigger and bigger, but if I ever hear one of them complain about weight reduction from one year to the next I'm gonna laugh.

Each to their own
You'll never catch me with 20's on this car. Deceives the purpose.
