20' with body kits and drop are perfect look to me, 19" look good without body kits and drop, but if with drop and kits it would look small if you get 19" wheels don't get the one with the lip, because it make it look like 18" wheels

I did regret having 20" but wrong size tire is what messed up the whole look....It can work just make sure u get the correct tire size.

Oh ok that makes sense. I was wondering why the front looked so high, even at stock height.

I just have another question. Ive had it answered by someone already but Im just trying to get a few other peoples prespective.

Will a RWD IS on 18s at stock suspension be at the same height compared to a IS on 20s dropped moderately? Say 1 finger gap all around? By heigh I mean distance from the ground to the bottom of your front bumper.

Essentially what I want to know is if a person who isnt into cars can tell the height difference between the two cars.
