My only concern would be a spare. You must be ready to buy 5 wheels/tires of the same circumference. And what happens if you need to find another tire right away? It took me two weeks just to find a 19 set of tires. God help you if you are on a road trip and need new tires.

But that is not a concern to many.

I also really like the 132's but I am getting a very good deal on 168's so if it doesn't work out then I will just keep 132's.

What kind of deal are you getting? I'd like to get an idea of what to expect. OEM or replica?

I'm interested in your deal also.

Do you expected to lose 1 mpg by going to 20" rims?

Go for the 20s. The toyos are relatively inexpensive for 20 inch rubber. I went with 20" stag. style 132s and love them!

20's
Ya, I am thinking about doing the same thing. I have the same 19's and may upgrade to 20's. My tires are brand new so i am waiting for them to wear down. Do your ride a favor, show it the respect it deserves and clean that bad boy
