Just checking all options
Roughly yes. 225/40 and 255/35 are actually the best combo for that stagger IMO (I've run that set up many times)

No, don't try and fix weak wheels with spacers. If you have the choice just buy the wheels right the first time.

20x10 255/45/20
20x11 305/25/20
255/45/20 is a truck tire... Like literally 4" or so larger than OEM.

The rear could work though, as long as you have the correct offset to clear that width of tire.

On what width wheels?

Yea for the most part, a 225/40 up front would be better though.

You're going for the aggressive and stretched tire look?

Around 20x10 20x11 +0

Don't waste your money on nankang tires,had these on my coupe for approx 5000kms the road noise from these tires is unbearable and the ride quality sucks. Replaced with firestone firehawk wide oval, what a difference, spend your cash on quality rubber.

none of the will affect handeling as long as you put appropriate tire sizes based on your needs, out of the choices you listed I would do the 19x10 +20 all around because the other choices have weak offsets (assuming you have a coupe, sedan different story), are you lowered on spring or coilover? plan to have a stance or keep normal camber and do meaty tires?

Not sure for the west coast, send Adon a message (that's his name on here) he's BC based and will probably know someone who can get them.

I spoke to him before and he gets them at onlinetires.com but have to go across the border to pick it up. I was trying to see if there are any other options before I go ahead and do that.

i have a coupe , lowered on springs, so 10 up front would work , was worried it be to big. I just dont want to do any fender rolling yet

would 19x10 +20 all around require rolling ?

19x10 +20 front and rear would be the best fit IMO.
