But I may regret getting the smaller 19" wheels down the line because it is too small. The Fsports come with 19" wheels right? How do you guys like the look and size?

Here's 20s vs 19s. U decide .

Very nice wheels and ride. I actually don't see too much difference so I may go with the 19's to keep the smoother ride

It looks smaller because the spokes do not extend to the edge of the lip coupled with the angulation of the pic....but it's not noticeably bigger as some say it's too big for the GS. Are you going with a staggered set up or 19x8.5 all around? Also, will you being lowering?

No. I'll take a hit on resale if I do. Gonna put F sport wheels back on when it's time to upgrade. Maybe the SSRs will go on the new ride, possibly a mid-cycle refresh GSF or LS F sport or I'll sell them on ebay or in CL classified.

I'm considering 19X8.5 or 19X9.0. I would prefer not to lower my ride, but if that gap looks too big then I just may lower. Depends on how much it bothers me. Lol. Probably not staggered.

I'd recommend 19x9. Even if you lower mildly, as long as your offset isn't too aggressive and tire size is appropriate, you shouldn't have a problem. Good luck, man.
