I rode in a 5 with 20s and felt the car a bit harsh..I think 19s are perfect not too much and not to less One thing that I was a bit not good was becasue the rear of the 5 is so big, the rear wheels seem small for that space, so i changed my 275 for 285 and its perfect to me now ... ah and buy the new toyo proxes t1rs , those tires are super smooth and handle great...my 2 cents

Fully agree includingthe part about 285's on the back. Assuming you get no rubbing I think they would look better as I dislike the rim sticking out further than the tire. My Toyo look a little like that. Wish I went for 285's.

Go with 20's the ride is not that much better than 19's but the wheels will fill the fenders much better. I also hear that the tires are cheaper for 20's than 19's, go figure. Only if you lower the car and put bigger rims on will you start feeling the road and bumps more. People with 19's always wished they would of gone with 20's first.
