Need some advice. I will be ordering a set of 20" rims next week. The wheels are customized to vehicle so offsets will be made for my car. What do you reccomend in terms of wheels size for the fronts 20 x 8.5 or 20 x 9. The rears will be 20 x 10. Also the shop I am working with is reccomendting the following tire sizes. 245/35/20 for front and 275/30/20 for rears. Should I go to a lower profile say 30/25 and a wider rear say 285 vs 275. many thanks. btw, i may choose to lower the car with H&R sport springs later on. i also have the sprt package
