a friend of mine has the same size tire(20x11 with 305) on the rear, and his car is lowred too. He say there is no rubbing, so I am going to put the same size tire this summer, too, but it seems the CSC2 is the only one choice for 305/25 R20, am I right?

SL 55
I think Pirelli and Conti both make these sizes. I have Conti's on order with my new wheels.

So... I called TireRack to order some PS2's for the SL in the 305's for the rear.

They said they would rub. We're talking 19 inch rims...

Talked me into getting 295's

Hm, yeah, i dont think PS2 makes 305. The widest is 295. This is for the Avus you bought from me right?
