also i think i may run some spacers like 10-15mm in the front and maybe 10s in the back...it just all depends on how aggressive it looks without spacers. i hope that the rear wont need spacers and if i have to put spacers on it will only be in the front.

The rear is the same size as the front, for AWD is not recomended to run different size tires, so I didn't want to risk messing with the system, and yes is the Eibach Prokit suspension, for you I think the drop is a bit more than mine. I believe if you wanted to keep your speedometre accurate you had to run 35, but I guess is between the 5% range so you won't be that much off.

wait so are you running 20x9s on all four wheels? or 20x10.5s on all four?

They are 20x9.5 on all four, I initially wanted 20x9, but I believe the Vossen contact that my friend used said the 9.5 was going to work just perfect, so that's what we used, and about the gap you'll be fine i'm pretty sure not too many people can tell the difference between a 30 and 35 profile tire, and if there is a gap it will be extremely minimal, but you can always buy a different size tire later down the line.

Edit:

My mistake the rims are 20x9 not 20x9.5 turns out the 9.5 where for the VF084 set that I was looking at, before I decided to buy this set instead.

very true the gap if there is one should look fine. so since you are 20x9.5 how big of a lip do you have on your rims? I kind of wish I would have ran a 20x9.5 in the front if I could have gotten away with it...assuming there is no rubbing and what not.

The 245/30/20 won't throw off your speedo cause your car is RWD. The speedo is based on the rear wheel so as long as you run a decent sized tire out back your speedo will be ok.

The only thing is, the 245/30/20 is an inch smaller in diameter than the stock front tires so expect your front to be between 0.5"-1" lower with that size. There will be some gap too but it shouldn't be too noticeable.

If you have the choice of tire then I'd say go for 245/35/20 front and 275/30/20 rear, but if you don't then just use the 245/30's and see how you like them.

i dont have a choice since the tires are coming w/ the rims. but my next set i can always goto 35 instead of 30. sicne you said it will prob make my front .5-1" lower how do you think that will effect my camber? and eventually my tire wear? if i get the toe in spec you think i will be ok? or do you think i should get front camber arms?
