Since yours is not staggered set up, maybe you can try 245/30/20 all around?

Are you sure they're 20X9 all around? I don't see that as a choice from the link you have to the wheel chart. I'm assuming you want the same in all 4 corners so you can rotate? I don't think a 255 on the rear will look meaty enough for you. I have 275s and wish I would have gone to at least 285s.

You shouldn't have any rubbing problems. A number of forum members have 20X9s in the front with no rubbing issues with 255s on the front. If you do lower your car it should actually make it less likely to rub since the springs will be stiffer.

I have the Toyo T1Rs and seem to be a good value for the price. I think they may be a little harder riding than Mich PS2s but I have around 10K miles on them and they still look relatively new. I don't drive in snow so I can get away with the T1Rs vs. Prox 4s!!!!!

Good luck...Lets see some pics

thanks guys for the response... one more question... you think having the rears abit meatier than the front would look funny? now im not talking like the muscle car meaty but just enough to give a slight stance... or just go all the way around with one size and drop it... thanks agin for the reply..very useful.ericdpics will come soon..

You need to go with the staggered look. Looks much more aggressive. If you noticed most if not all who have 19"s or 20"s have a staggered appearance. After installing the wheels and rims, decide whether you need to lower it or not.
