I RUN 245/35 IN THE FRONT AND 275/30'S IN THE REAR ON NITTO NT555.? I HAVE HAD ABSOLUTELY NO TROUBLE WITH THIS SETUP AND IT RIDES PRETTY GOOD WITH A SPORT PACKAGE.? I COULDNT GET 20X10.5S WHEN I BOUGHT MY WHEELS.? ACTUALLY I WAS HAPPY TO GET ANY WHEELS AT ALL.? I WAITED 6 WEEKS FOR THESE AFTER I HAD WAITED 2 MONTHS FOR SYMBOLICS THAT WERE NEVER MADE FOR ME BUT THATS ANOTHER STORY.? CHECK AVAILABILITY AND TAKE WHAT U CAN GET.? THE 10'S HAVE A GREAT LIP AND YOU WON'T BE DISAPOINTED.? ILL POST NEW PICS WITH THE BREYTON SPOILER AND ACS ROOF SPOILER SOON, THESE ARE PRE WINTER.

If you do get the 20X10.5 you will probably need to get the rear fenders rolled. I have BBS RS-GT 20X9 and 20X10.5. Dont have the pics with me but can post later if you want. I did have my rear fenders rolled and no problems with rubbing since. I did have my alignment fine tuned, the only issue has been with the directional tires (Pilot Sport AS) - Just make sure you put asymetrical tires on, the car has not tracked properly with the directionals. I am actually getting the AS replaced for the PS2 by Michelin.
I highly recommend the 20" rims from both a performance and aesthetic perspective.
Good Luck

255 30 Front
295 25 Rear
It probably did effect the speedo somwhat, but not enought for me to notice or really care. In So. Cal, you drive with, faster or slower than the flow of traffic. Faster is prefered, but not always possible.
I have had Highway Patrol regularly pass me when doing 80-85 mph.

Fellas. I've done months of research on this exact topic. Allow me to share my findings. My car has the sport package and I wanted to upgrade to 20's. I chose to go with BMW Radial Style 32's but I'm powdercoating them black. The wheels are 20x9 in the fronts and 20x10's in the rear. Now, in order for you to avoid any rubbing issues or any speedo issues, you must keep the overall diameter the same or as close to stock as you can get. That being said, this is where my research began. The proper size tires to use that conform the best to the OEM diameter are 255/30 in the front and 295/25 in the rear. Those sizes give you the closest match. OEM is 25.6" and these 295/25 rears give you a 25.8" overall diameter. A 285/30 is 26.9". That's when you'll first have to start rolling your fenders. Hope this helps.

Also, this info was obtained from professionals that don't sell one specific brand of tire. That's important too as you will get different answers from differnt people depending on what kind of tires they sell.
