So I'm considering getting an all round 9,5J 20s with an ET18 (Miro 111 look).Will a 275/30/20 rub in the rear? Right now I've got the style 172, 9,5J 32ET in the back I believe, with a 20mm spacer, no rubbing with the M-Sport suspension. Another member here has the same rims and he was rubbing on the fender with a 275 tyre in the back, but he was lowered on coilovers.

For the front I'm planning to stick with 245/35/20, which should be OK?

I have 275/30/20 on 20x10.5, et 13 (OEM sport suspension) and they don't rub on normal driving condition. I have been holding off from getting new tires because I really want to switch up to 285/30/20; very concerned if that would rub for sure on OEM sport suspension.

I think you should be fine without a drop on coilovers, etc...

If your running a square setup id go with the same tyre size all around, 255 or 265/30 all around would be better, and it should be fine on the rear, but the fronts usually need an arch roll for a 9.5j
