I'm from Toronto.. GTA.. I absouley hate driving downtown due to all the pot holes..
I got 19s last summer
Just lowered 1.2" all around. Gotta get spacers soon.
We can meet up and you can see how it looks..

I have 19's on Sports Suspension, and I think it looks just fine. I don't feel the need to lower my car at all, and the ride is still great. If your worried about potholes, then you might want to just get the 19's... You will have a slighly harsher ride with the 20's and they are easier to damage. You can try to avoid the potholes, but if you have a lot of them.. it's going to be hard to do, and you won't enjoy driving. Just my two cents. GL with your decision.

If your worried about the additional wheel gap, the 19" would be a better suit. As for ride comfort, the 19 or 20 feel the same with correct psi.

I ordered summer wheels today. Those are 20inch with 245/35 and 275/30. The diameter is little bigger that normal setup would be 245/30 and 275/25. I was looking 19''s at first but e60 body is so big you could put 22's there. So 19's looks too small..
Even my friends told me to do 20's..
Id say go for 20's..
