I'd be more worried about damaging your rims with the 20 or 25 profile tires that you will have to run on the back. If the roads are f'd up, for sure go with the 19's and ad a little side wall to the tire. Also, if you plan on dragging the car. A 305/30/19 is slightly smaller in overall diameter then the stock 275/35/19, This will effectively give you a slightly lower gear ratio giving you better acceleration and a wider footprint. And they are lighter, reducing rotational mass, again increasing performance. So there you have it, 3 reasons to go with the 19's if your looking for performance advantage. I think the only advantage the 20's will have would be for looks.
