Forgestar F14
Im trying to debate on whether to go with 19" or 20" wheels for my 550 especially because im running KW V2 coils. I want to try to go as low as possible to tuck the tire but i dont want the 20's to be too big any input would be greatly appreciated.

Here's another pic. I ended up lowering my car so you can barely slide your shoe under the sideskirt. Also be sure your offsets and wheel width combos are right. The KW's are bigger then stock and I had to deal with a inner wheel/perch rubbing issue.

The 20" setup will definitely look better on the car. The 20" Forgestar F14 wheels are a great choice. They're flow form aka rotary forged and are not only strong but are also fairly light weight. Best of all, they're an affordable quality set of wheels! Forgestar wheels are all custom made to order so the fitment will be made specifically for your vehicle.
I'd recommend the 20x9.0 with a 245/35/20 up front and the 20x10.5 with a 275/30/20 in the rear. This will give the car a flush look and will not cause any rubbing issues! Below are a couple installed pictures for you to check out!

You guys might want to update your info. 20x9 upfront will work with a stock suspension setup however the OP is running V2's and with the lowest et of 18mm for that wheel the spring perch will rub on the inner part of the wheel. You will still need to run a 8mm spacer to get the necessary clearance and roll the fenders to run a 20x9 up front.

My setup is 20x9 et18 (which is the lowest et this size goes) 245/30-20 up front and 20x10.5 et25 275/30-20 in the rear. To make it fit upfront I also had to get VAC Motorsport 8mm spacers and hub extenders and 39mm black wheel lugs. It's a tight fit up front but it works. If you are out in San Jose and you want to check it out I work at Santana Row.
