is the ride harsher with the 20"s relative to the RFT 19's?
Not really....there is a slight difference where you feel the road and its imperfections more but it's not harsher.

The difference doesn't outweigh the look...I feel the 20's really step up the look of the car and the ride difference isn't affected in a way that make me regret the switch.

If you like the look of a modified car and want the car to have that extra something...20's are the way to go...and without a significant sacrifice on ride quality.

I'm having ACS springs installed next week and that will probably make the car slightly harder. Again...not a concern for me. I don't do very long distance drives on a regular basis where absolute ride comfort is a must. I'm willing to sacrifice a little to have a car that looks the way I want it to!
