So, I'm guessing here that you will go with 255/30/20 tires in the front? What about the rear? 255/30/20 as well?

IMHO, the staggered look is awesome. If you do staggered, which size: 285/30/20 or 275/30/20?

Just remember, you will probably have to get your front fenders rolled to accommodate the 255s. But, of course I have been known to be wrong. I was checking out freed0ms's classified ad and saw his wheel setup: Radenergie R10 Silver 20x9F & 20x10R, Michelin PS2 255/30/20-295/25/20. Check with him if he needed to roll his fenders or not.

To help us help you, you need to put in your signature what mods you have/will be having. Also, location is good too. I know you're in San Diego b/c I read one of your posts but others might not have.

I looked over your thread about 20"s and rubbing, and EuroCarFan seems to believe that with OEM wheels rubbing isn't much of an issue. Allenman is sporting 255/30/20's with OEM 132 in the front without any rub issue!

Most people I have seen sporting 255s in the front have rolled their fenders or are M5s. And, of course there are exceptions like allenman who didn't have to roll his fenders.

You should be fine with 245/30/20 in the front and 275/30 or 25/20 in the back.
