hey, no problem...
I had 19's before but was not happy with the way it looked so I decided to go with 20's... the best thing I did. there is absolutely no performance lost like some people say and significant gain in looks... the only downside is the cost of the wheels and the tires...

so that you have an idea...

my black Z with 19 and my ZR with 20... look at the gap...

PS: had to sell the black Z... had 3 cars that were 2 seaters and a celica conv that could not fit anybody in the back... kept the ZR and started the mods, kept the mazda RX-7 GSL-SE 1985 (1 gen), sold the celica and got a Mazda 3 wagon...





you can see the RX-7 in the garage.... the Corolla was also sold.. got an Acura TL for my wife.








got to have TOYS !!!!!

no performance loss? not even steering radius? that was my main concern with 20's, I figured steering would be worse with bigger wheels

nope.. no change...

most of the time when people use 19" wheels they use a bigger/taller tire to cover the gap... when compared side by side with the 20" they are about the same size... I just like the wheel with the smaller tire...

that is unless you use a lower tire on the 19" (which is what happened to me on the picture) and the gap is bigger and at that point you need to lower the car bla bla bla...

but to answer your question... NO difference except the 20" looks better in my opinion... that is comparing the same wheel in different sizes... however if you are comparing 20's heavy with 19's lite wheels then that is a different story...
