Default 20's or 19's on the front?
Gonna get some front wheels to match my 20 inch 360 forged I have in the rear.

Should I go with 20s or 19s? Ive checked multiple threads, but just trying to get more answers.

Pros and cons?

Thanks alot guys!

I would go with 19" in the front. 20" would take too low of a profile tire to keep the overall circumference close to OEM and would hurt the ride quality IMO.

I have 19" front and 20" rear. (360 Forged)

Mines got 20's all around. When I eventually get it to the track I will probably do 18 - 19's to get more meat on the sidewall. Only problem with the 20's is I can't get a decent tire for traction. The Nitto invos on it now suk if I try and get a good hookup. I do like the low profile and the ride is just fine

19 will look better and work better too.

Wish I had new wheels and tires to put the 19's on up front and the 20's on the rear.

20 s up front make tire selection to keep traction control happy a tough choice. Go with 19 s up front....

I run 19 up front and 20 in the back to keep the staggared look. You could easily run an 20 20 setup though.
