20's will have a tendency to rub on the sidewall, be noisier, and comfort quality is compromised.
I think you'll have good performance with the 19's that will be comprable to the 20's. And you save a little $$ also...

If you want less hassle overall get 19s. 20s will force you to get thinner tires and they wont have as much protection against potholes etc, tires will be more expensive, ride comfort wont be as good, and of course the rubbing
Whenever I get my IS im just going with 19s and sports package

If you pick the correct offsets tire sizes with 20s you can minimize rubbing or prevent it. I think some people have 20s and dont rub, they arent dropped tho. If you want less hassle overall get 19s

I notice that i have a lil rub inside the front wheelwell when i make a hard turn. I was aware of that problem thou. I wanted +38 offset but they only have +40 on that rims. Plus i rather have a lil rub on the inside than having rub on the outside of the fender and wheels sticking out. These rims i plan to have it for a year or two just to test with the car being drop soon. Later i'll get a nice perfect one for this car.
