I believe 19x8.5 front on 235/35/19 and 19x10 rear on 265/30/19 tires w/o rolling fenders, this is the setup I'm going for.

I've seen 20x8.5f and 20x9.5r setup many times, I don't know whether they rolled their fenders or not. Personally, I think 20" is too big for such a small car. Hope this helps..

Ynot: In what Home Depot department did you find the nylon plugs? My daughter's car had a front plate but KS does not have one, so she has four holes in her front bumper that I would like to plug for her.

I think it flushes perfectly, I don't think it's too high but that's just me, I don't have anything to compare it too.

I don't know what section, but it's with all the other plugs, there's a huge cabinet full of them, it has many different sizes. I had to go there three times to get it right, I underestimated the size each time, it's the smallest one available. On one side it fit perfectly, you have to pry if off and the other side b/c the hole was drilled bigger, I had to superglue it.

Thanks. I could spend days in my HD looking for something that small. This may cut the time down to hours.

Ask one of the guys that work there, he'll point you to the right direction in seconds, it's on the right side all the way down (last drawer). Might be different where you live but from my experience, HD has the same setup no matter what state you are in.
