I don't have my car yet but its on the way over on the ship so I'm starting to look for wheels so i can get them on when my car does arrive. I'm going to go with 20"s - 10" in back but what width should i get in front to avoid any rubbing without having to roll my fenders?
I'm currently looking into iForged and DPE. Any other wheel suggestions?

For everyday driving, I'd get 19s, but I've read posts of others who have went with 20x9 in the front without any problems

Iforged or DPE would look great on your car.

You may have problems with 10" wide in the rear. I'd ask the people at tirerack.

I just got 20's put on Tuesday. I went with Asanti's. 10" rear and 9" front. The right front rubs slightly when turning left into a driveway. If I had to do it again I would go with 8.5" front. I have a 545 with the sport package. If you don't have the sport package 9" will be fine. Tire size on mine is 245/35/20 front and 285/30/20 rear. Iforged and DPE's look like a good choice, I heard nothing bad about either. If you want the best go with www.hrewheels.com their not cheap, but who's counting right!!!My Webpage
