All the info here is in its proper section (for the most part)... (this type of discussion is in the "wheels" Section.... take a look over there, all the answers are within! I have 20"s and so do several other guys.

The search button works too, and we are always here to help you out! (just try and post in the right section if you can, if you arent sure, dont worry theres no beatings issued!)

Are you talking about steelies or the alloy wheel on the 2.5?

You aren't going to lose any power...its more a question of how much your new wheel is going to weigh and the rolling resistance of your new tires compared to what you have already and how that is going to affect your mpg's and acceleration...

i believe reading somewhere that the stock tire weights 25lbs. if you can find 19" rims that weigh less than that, then you'll actually gain "power", it will take less power for the engine to rotate the tires so you'll get better performance, not to mention have better tires
