Hello Everyone!
The car just got delivered last week so it is now official and time to start modding. I just posted in the New Member Introductions Forum about 5 minutes ago and already have a question. I ordered my wheels right away this week because the stocks are just plain hideous. I am looking to go with an aggressive fitment so I decided to go with the 20 Inch HP Designs TakeOver II Wheels in the Hyper Black and Chrome Lip finish. Wheel sizes are 20x10 and 20x8.5 staggered fitment. The tires I chose to go with are 285/30/20 and 255/35/20. I should have asked this question before but got a little excited with the ordering at the shop. Has anybody ever ran this setup? Any issues at all with rubbing with a drop or without? Thanks guys!

Thanks! I really can't wait to take it to the shop tomorrow night to have them put on, very anxious to see how it will look on the Alpine White and if it will rub, which I hope it doesn't.

Welcome to the forum! 
If you are running a 20x8.5 and 20x10 I would go 245/35/20 and 275/30/20, BUT you can push it to 285/30/20. If you decide to lower the car the 255 series might be too much and may rub same goes for the 285 rear's. You may have to roll your fenders.
