Thanks redEYEjedi. I'm in the same boat...I dont want to replace my OEM sport suspension and am at 60k miles. Do you have any pics of your current setup? I liked to see how it looks. Tire size is going to come down to whether you want better rim protection and ride comfort (245/35R20 & 275/30R20) or to not negatively affect the car's speedometer and brakes by keeping the same rolling diameter (245/30R20 & 275/25R20). With the latter, one bad pothole and your wheel is done for.
I have a new suspension coming in already so that should fix the problem of the suspension travel from the "softness."

I'll see about snapping some shots of my current setup, without the spacers. If I'm feeling adventurous I'll slap the spacers back on for a little show and tell.

I guess my feedback may have helped a bit if I had seen your original post since I am running 19x8.5 et17 and 19x10.5 et25 and was not happy with it. I added 10mm spacers all around to achieve et7 front and et15 rear and though it was better, wasn't HELLA flushed as some would say. I wish I had taken photo's of that stance before I took off the spacers.
I also test fitted a set of 20's with specs 20x9 et18 20x11 et20 (guestimate offsets since they are not revealved on that particular brand of wheels). I was still planning on throwing on 10mm spacers all around for the "perfect" fit as well as to clear the shocks.
SIGMACHIGUY, is there any chance to see your car in person? Are you near the USC/UCLA area? Also are you running the standard 245-35-20 and 275-30-20 tire sizes?

Alright peeps...so here are a few shots of the wheels BEFORE the coilover install and WITHOUT spacers...sorry, I know these pics aren't necessarily the best angles but I can't re-take since I've already now had my coils and spacers installed...at least it'll give you guys some idea of where the wheels sat though in relation to the fender...
