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?

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
