rubbing will depend on the width of the wheels, its offsets, the size tire you run, and how much you are dropped...

so youll need to find a wheel with the right spoke design/offsets that will work for you..

and as his sig says, 20" Sevas S-7 Black

if you go with his setup..youll be fine as far as brembos are concerned..considering..he has brembos..

Do you plan on dropping your car? I have Brembos and I am running a 20x8.5 in the front and a 20x10.5 in the rear. When I wasn't lowered I was fine. When I dropped my ride and got all of the camber kits installed along with wheel alignment I was fine

How big should I go................?

To me the major diffrence between the 19s & 20s is the tire size. By tire size
I'm refering to the sidewall, with 20s you'll have a better chance of destroying
your rims........like when you hit a chuck hole. Here in S. Ca. our freeways are full of holes 3 to 4 inches deep especially in the fast lane. Had I been on
20s I'd probably be on my third set of rims.......Ouch! Plus the way the G
rides will be more harsh and my suspension is allready stiff enough. My choice
would be 19s on 245/275s!

Its a matter or personal preference.

I personally believe that 19's are best; Good looks without the extra weight.

I love my 20s havent had any problems yet with them...I always try to keep my eye out for pot holes and such since i know im vulnerable

Im running 20" Sevas S-7 and yes i do have brembos as Ahero has said and the wheels clear the brembos but a tight fit. Heres a pic of what the setup looks like

^PetaG35 nice set up. I feel you on the road hazzrads. I love my 20's but even here in Boston every other road is loaded with potholes even on the highway becasue of the plows having their blades to low. The holes are like craters in the moon.

Wow you're running 10.5 wide in the rear and you only have on 275s? Won't 10.5 get you up in the 295-305 area?

I'm thinking about going 9.5 wide in the rears with 275/40.

^^^^^ you can go with a wider tire but will have issues with
fenders.

I cant wait for my 20's to come in. Certain wheels look really hot in 20"
on the G. Were some look like do-do
