SO now i cant decide because i think 19s with a lot of spokes will look to small, but i was wondering what kind of drop would compliment staggered 20s, with NO fender rolling.

The thing is if you really love how 20" looks, don't even bother to consider the 19".
If you are the people do worry about the ride quality, than think again on the 19".
It's not that 20" will cause bad ride quality, it's about how thick the tire you are running and your tolerance for the ride quality. My Madza CX-9 comes with 20" wheels but the tires are 50 series which makes the ride quality fairly good. Running 20" on IS or GS requires 25 series tires (rear) to maintain the stock height and 25 series tire vs. 50 will make a difference on the ride quality.

if u r a baller, go 20's. if u r not a baller go 19's . if u like to roll like a baller, go 20's. if u like a nice comfy ride, go 19's. if u prefer looks over quality, go 20's, if u prefer quality over looks. go stock. NOW IF YOU PREFER BOTH. quality, looks & performance.... buy my ride, it's is for sale here in the classified adds in Ca. sf east bay area. heading " a g-ride to appreciate* must see* tons of upgrades"... here are some pics...

i feel ya. hopefully by then you can find a set of rims on a steal bargain. being patient pays off in the long run when you have to put it off to side for awhile. i call it delayed gratification....

I was thinking of running a staggered set of 20s then drop it on some coilovers, i was wondering if i would rub in the rear. I am NOT looking to roll my fenders because it is a lease. Does it all depend on the tire size?
Has someone put 20s on there car with coilovers without touching there fenders, if so please post pics.
