There is, of course, but it will be negligible. Maybe some more absorption on the 19", maybe some stiffer control on the 20"s.
The smaller 19" will have more sidewall which is nice for parking if you scrape your wheels... 19" better for snow too if you wanted snow tires on one of the other.
I had 20"s on my old g550 and they were great (both snow set and summer sets on 20s).
Just get whichever you like more or cost less :-)

My 2019 G550 came with the 19" RK2 wheels (see picture below) which I switched out for the 22" Black that come on the G63's. The 19" wheels were a softer ride almost S class like and the 22" ones are stiffer so not as comfy of a ride but still good. I don't notice a difference in handling between either of the 2 sizes.
I am selling the 19" wheels that have the original Pirelli P Zero all seasons tires on them including the TPMS. They have about 500 miles on them in case you are interested. Please PM me if you are.
Thanks
