it depends on the look your going for. if you lower the car on 20's heightwise it kinda looks like a sport drop and if you lower it alot it will tuck the tires but the full rim will be showing.

if you go with 19's it will be lower to the ground so you will need to be careful how you drive. even with a mild drop it looks pretty low and if you lower it all the way it will tuck in the tire and top of the rim. it depends on the look your going for.

i personally have 19s on my car. sorry no pix at the moment

Actually... with the new 20s available, you can get the GS just as low on 20s.

235/35-19 25.5" diameter
245/35-19 25.8" diameter
245/30-20 25.9" diameter

20s are the new 19s!
