I'd verify that the circumferences are similar else the speedo will be wrong.

Dynamically it´s a change for worse (more unsprung weight). With the possible exception of super-duper carbonfibre or high-end forged wheels.
Esthetically it´s a matter of taste..

I personally prefer the looks of 20-inchers so much, that I´m prepared to lose some dynamic ability :/

the problem is that in italy you cant put different size tyres

and the best solution is to leave 19 245 275 and put lower springs and spacers

Perfect answer, and the ride comfort goes down too...

Indietor has found that Michelin has many fewer sizes available in Europe - some of the common Jag sizes don't appear to be available. I think they don't sell the MPS4S at all.
