I have 18's and the ride is excellent. I will defintely upgrade to 19's eventually, at the time of purchase couldn't pass up the deal on the 18's. 19's seem like the perfect balance but there is not as much options for tires and tend to be more expensive.

i have 19's staggered. I love the look of big staggered wheels. That is how the GS4 should have come from the factory ala BMW M, Mercedes AMG....

I'm running a 9" F with a 37 offset and 10.5" R with a 46mm offset. It rubs but looks good...it's even with the fender. Also running a 245/35 and 285/30. My teins should help stiifen the ride so it won't rub as much. Will post pictures of it this weekend. Also, not lowered yet and rear rubs with aggressive driving. I will roll or shave the lips. My car is green btw for a previous post.

19x9 and 19x10 both with 37offset, I was using 8mm spacers, so basically they were 29offset. They were sold a few months back.

No problem Eric, you should come by the house one day so we can put your wheel on my car to find out how to solve the space issue.

It depends on the driver, I have used 20" wheels on the crappiest streets NYC has to offer with no issues, just need to be a litle more cautious.
