So I recently purchased new wheels and tires. I know I'll probably have some people frown upon what I went with. But I'm happy with my decision. The wheels:
TSW Mugello
Front-  20x8.5    35mm
Rear-    20x10     42mm

Now we get to the tire selection.....  This is why some will love and hate.  This is what I wanted to do and thought it would work so I took a shot and it worked better than I hoped.
Front-     275/40-20
Rear-      315/35-20

Does not rub anywhere.  Rides and drives great. And to me....   I think it look tough as sh*t..... YAY!!!!!!!!!

I am jealous!!!

Is there a large difference in the circumference from front to rear?

What was the weight difference from the stock wheel/tire combo?

looks really nice, must be nice to have so much space under the rear fender.

The footprint of the rear's is most impressive.

Big fan of that alone!

Nicely executed & pretty cool to see another EB'er venture out into the staggered setup, despite being an AWD platform.

I think the wheel & tire combo looks pretty bangin', well done :thumb:

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

Damn! Looks awesome! I didn't know you could fit that much tire under it. How much can you fit under the SHO/MKS? Well done Sir!

Please do so, take some close up pics, and also note if it doesn't fit, and what's in the way. Also, note what it would take to fit if it doesn't fit, and what the biggest tire one could do.
