Wheel size 19 or 20's

I am having a hard time finding 18's but found alot in 19 and 20's for the wagon. What is the best? I know tires will cost more in 19's but don't know how 20's will ride. Thanks for the help.

18s for performance
20s for looks
19s for a compromise of both

You will have to be careful of the roads with 20s.

18s are better for performance and ride. 19 is the largest I would go (looks better but rides harsher and tires will be more expensive to replace etc.)

This isn't exactly a road racing machine. Get 20s if you're doing looks. I'm glad I did.

Otherwise, just keep your stockers for DRs if you like to hit the strip.
