Hey, welcome to the boards. The people here are great, and there is help with just about every topic you need covered. If you are in the market for wheels/tires, why don't you look up Volk Racings? I have the SF Challenges in 19x8.5 F and 19x10.5 R with Toyo T1R's. Here's a few pics for ya.

20"s for sure.

20x8.5 or 20x9 fronts with 245/35/20
20x10.5 rears with 275/30/20

If you don't plan on taking it to the track, I say go for 20's if you've got the cash... if you go for 19's, make sure you get a large rear lip & drop it!

Here's 19's (stock) vs 20's HRE 540R's (20x9 front & 20x10.5 rears) on Falken ST-115




Good luck!

I am rolling on 20's with no regrets. The tires were cheaper than the 19's.
If you look at the link:

I'm wondering why do many forum members suggest 275 rear tires on 10.5" rims rather than 285. I'm asking this because after some calculation, 285/30 actually retains the overall diameter on the rears better.

Would the 285's in the rear rub at all on 20x10's. I just bought 20" rims too and contemplaiting wether to buy 275 or 285's for the rear, only concern is the rubbing and by the way I have an 06 coupe.

Recommended for the toyo T1R

245/35ZR20 8.0-8.5-9.5" - 776 RPM this set up your off by -20 RPM
275/30ZR20 9.0-9.5-10.0" - 782 RPM this set up your off by +4 RPM
&
255/35ZR20 8.5-9.0-10.0" - 769 RPM this set up your off by - 27 RPM
285/30ZR20 9.5-10.0-10.5"- 776 RPM this set up your off buy -2 RPM

The front tire rpm will be off too much from stock you will notice a diffrence

Combo
245/30ZR20 8.0-8.5-9.0" - 801 RPM this set up your off by +5 RPM
285/30ZR20 9.5-10.0-10.5"- 776 RPM this set up your off buy -2 RPM
would be nice too but i am not sure if 245 and 285 will work properly

but the best set up would be

245/30ZR20 8.0-8.5-9.0" - 801 RPM this set up your off by +5 RPM
275/30ZR20 9.0-9.5-10.0" - 782 RPM this set up your off by +4 RPM

On a 05 6MT or 06 model stock is
225/40ZR19 7.5-8.8-9.0" 796 Rotations per mile
245/40ZR19 8.0-9.0-9.5" 778 Rotations per mile

FYI the middle number is the suggested rim diameter
