Well ofcource it feels bit harder. Even womens suffer from walking with high heels, but they do look good.. So why not do same with your car ?

There's a lot of great looking options with 19" wheels as well. I know my second set would be 19"s.

basically, you have more chance of the tires rubbing......on the fender or inner liner and some people have rubbed on the shocks. you have to make sure you get the right size tires, and have the correct wheel offsets. and usually you have to run a lower profile tire, like a 20 or 25 or 30 series height. and since you have less rubber, you are more prone to wheel damage from potholes.

+1. I am running 20x9.5 F and 20x10.5 R AND lowered on coilovers, so fender rolling will take care of any tire rubbing.
