New wheels new questions

So I visited BC FORGED today and found out I will have to go with 20's . If I wanted to go with 2 pieces wheels of there's
Im looking to know if this set up works . A few things im looking for is rub free and mild concave on front and a little tick more on the rear.
Here are the specs
FRONT 20x9 31e/t
Rear 20x10.5 46 et
Now im lost on the tires.. trying to get as much side wall as possible . Would even do 285/30/20 if it would work... If I must go to the 25 series would like to get 305. I guess the back will help determine the fronts.. Help lol

H and R springs in the front and links in the rear.
If any one has pics of this set up would great and feed back on how it all works together.. Thanks in advance.

I'd skip the h&r and go with KW. So much better. Less bounciness. I was amazed at the difference.

It's absolutely worth the premium. I ran with H&R for about a year. The ride quality was my only complaint with the car but decided to try KW and super pleased. Also, BC Forged is a great company. I ran them on my BMW M7 build and have considered them for the 212 as well.

They are very familiar with fitment so I'd trust what they say.

@Vrodman has 19" BC Forged IIRC, so maybe he can shed some light. Perhaps its just that particular wheel design.

i have 20' Voseen what are similar and tire set up was

255/30 F
285/25 R

but when i just went in to get new rubber it was difficult to get the 285/25 for the rears so i am taking a chance on a set of Pilot Sports in a 295/25.
The shop said it shouldn't hit as it only gaining .25 inch over my 185 Invos - the issue was mostly based on availability.

They look pretty good though
