19 or 20 inch on a daily GS300.
Are 8.5x19"/9.5x19" or 8.5x20"/10x20" rims going to be a problem on a 1.5inch lowered '00 GS300?? The car is a daily driver and we have some speedbumbs in my neighbourhood.

Edit:
I didn't read the entire post. If you're concerned with speedbumps, then stay with OEM wheels.
Whichever route you choose, just take the speedbump at an angle at a slow speed.

You can be fine with either, just gotta change the way you drive a little bit. Watch out for potholes and sharp manhole edges, take sharp inclines at an angle and slow down for speedbumps. Everything else being equal, the 20's will give you a little extra ground clearance, but you can put a little bigger sidewall on 19's if you want to which will give a little extra protection for the wheels.

I think 19s is the way to go because i want to keep it as comfortable as possible.
