What sizes?

I'm going try all three sizes. ( the two you mentioned and the one from tire rack). America's tire however also recommended 30 series too though

The reason I was asking is that in the E coupe pictures link I sent you, 235/35-20 front and 265/30-20 rear tires are used (front low 30s offset and rear high 30s offset would be ideal). IMO these sizes require no lowering since tires are (almost 2/3" front and exactly 1" rear) taller than stock and will consume/hide most, if not all, of the gap.

Let us know what you settled on and post pictures when done.
