I do not think You will be able to find a tire with right load index that is not mentioned here very often. If tire's load index is to low you will soon find tiny cracks on your tires that will cause your tire to blow at high speed unless you drive 30mph with elbow sticking out the window and don't care
Just my 0.2 whatever you decide gl!

Ditto with what has been said. You can fit 21's but tire selection is small. I just put 20"s on with an all around offset 18 and it is lowered on H&R. The ride quality feels better than my stock runflats. The difference between 20 and 21 as far as size is minor in my opinion. Hope that helps at all. Just do what you feel is right for you.

IMHO, the 525 and 530 are NOT the fastest cars to begin with. If you're going to mod your car it should be an enhancement, but putting 21's on an I-6 kills both ride and performance. Why do it? Yes, I know I have 20's and it did affect my ride, luckily they are also extremely lightweight so performance hit was negligible. Just my opinion, but don't go bigger than 20's or you can kiss the ride, performance and fuel economy of your car goodbye

I think it is quite obvious by now... 20·s are the ones to go for... Ride is more comfy than 18" runflats, just make sure you get the right size tires, don´t go to low profile, the car can have 30-35 profiles...
