Looks mean awsome wheels what tire setup are running post full specs plz.
Front: (20x9) 255/30/20
Rear: (20x10) 285/25/20

Thought they were 295 but they are 285's.

I'm playing with spacers at the moment, have 18mm on the front and rear but the rears are rubbing a little so am going down to a 10mm at the back which will resolve that.

Yes it is the Grey version.

I am running 245/35 and 285/30 and have serious rubbing front and rear. I did rolled four fenders and cut some of the plastic things inside the fenders to reduce the rubbing.

It's good to see the comparison actually, I think they're both great! You've had much more rubbing with only slightly bigger tyres, really does make a difference i suppose.

I'm going to have to get the smoked rear lights too. Anybody know if I can just plug a new set in (the LED ones) as mine is an 2005 car it may be different?
