The way I see things I have these options
1. Buy a 5mm spacer for the rear and run the S101's in 20x9 20x11 with 255/30 and 305/25 tires. Lower car.
2. To avoid a spacer in rear (which can be a problem itself especially a 5mm because it loses the hub centric ring) have HRE rebarrel the rears in 10.5 and run a 255/30 and 295/25. Cost about 1k and lower car.
3. To get the higher sidewall and fill up the wheelwell have HRE rebarrel front in 8.5 and rear in 10.5 and run 245/35 and 295/30. Or rear in 10 and 285/30. Either ok. Cost 2k.
4. Sell the S101's and buy 19x8.5 and 19x10. Run 245/40/19 diameter 26.7 and 285/35 diameter 26.9. Cost unknown but Pertplus gave me a deal on the S101's so I will get my money back. They are essentially new.

Instead of paying 2k to modify beautiful brand new wheels, that many people will want as is, I am sadly going to list them for sale and just have some made in the sizes that I want.
As soon as the 245/35's started nearly rubbing the wheel wells, even though they weren't hitting the bolt, I am going to give up on 255/35's.
