Update: I decided to go 315's after i test fitted a set of 305s, very subtle difference look to my Hankook 295. Rear tires are Toyo T1R 315/25/20 i'm gonna get some more shots this weekend and will make a thread next week with wheel fitment etc. Also picked up some Vossen CV5's in the process, 10.5 rear very minor clearancing done no rubbing in sport 2.

Will have more pics this weekend. I read a bunch of threads stating not a chance we could go wider than 295 so i did that but there was still plenty of space when i ran the hankooks. We test fit the 305 and it was close but fit with no work, and 315 even closer and it fits like a glove with a light bit of fender rolling.

What's the offset/width on the rims

20x9 +25 front
20x10.5 +45 rear (via starting with off the shelf +42 from vossen and shaving it 3mm)
more pics this weekend and will make new thread... The fit may be a bit aggresive for most but I'm really happy with the results. Anyone in the bay area who needs a source on wheels hit up california wheels in san jose, they fitted this setup for me. We've done 4 sets with them this past year and each time they have come through.

Yeah there is a ton of clearance in the inner wheel well, things get close against the body fender line and bumper. No rubbing in sport 2, ride qualty is no different than my cv3's on Hankook 295s. I havent really done any spirited cornering yet but dont expect any issues. I live in the SF bay area (roads suck!) and this is my daily driver for my 120mi round trip commute.

Sorry I actually deleted that message, because I was wrong about more aggressive, sine cutting 3mm is actually brining the rim in. But yes AGGRESSIVE on 315 is the right word. Please do update us on the ride, such as cornering and full load if you get a chance. I have kids I haul around, and it is also my daily, so full trunk with kids or adult feedback would be nice on your own time that is. Thanks

Who added the extra 3mm of offset?
20x9 +25 front
20x10.5 +45 rear (via starting with off the shelf +42 from vossen and shaving it 3mm)

Looking forward to your update. What are you going to run up front? Anyone try running 265's?

Out Of Control!!
I run 295 Hankooks cause they were wider then other 285s but smaller than most 295s, they fit with out issue on my 9.5" Forgestars

Hankooks are really narrow for the actual width numbers. I'd say by at least 20. A 255 on the back on my c55 looked more like a 235. Definitely check the tread widths to make sure you don't get something too wide or narrow.

Ive been running those wheels since they came out. 295 25 20 fit on back perfectly with that offset. No rub and I'm lowered pretty aggressive. In fact, I'm almost sure you would be able to do 305. When my 295's wear out I'll be moving to 305's myself.
