I was contemplating for a while on wwhat to do regarding those two tire sizes also, since I had already ordered my iForged rims. After a while of doing research calling places to find out if it would rub and talkin to other people I put in my order and I went with the 285/30/20, everybody told me I shouldnt have a problem with rubbing at all, as far as tire sizes go, that setup stays as close to stock as possible which is really good....

I have not yet received my rims but I did receive my tires. First of all in that size they look completely sick and second of all I have spoken to plenty of people who know a lot about this and everybody told I should go with this setup and that I wouldnt have any problems

I just shipped back my BFG KDW 2's because after receving the tires I was told that they are too tall and wide so I most likely will have rubbing and definitely dont want to do any rolling. So I sent them back(they are HUGE) and bought the Toyo Proxy T1R's in the 245/275. These sizes I was assured wont rub and look great also.

People are running 275/35/19 no problem, so 285/30/19 should be just fine. Or are you going 20's? If so, then I'm not sure since I've never done research in to 20" tires...

I am running 20", and some peoplemight approve it but speak to someone who know just a bit and they will guarantee you will have problems with those tires and that size, its just too wide and tall, rolling fenders might not even do it.

KrazyKorean- before you lowered, did the 285's work okay without fenderwork?

Take care.

I dont know, cuz I installed my wheels and coils at the same time. I am assuming yes but then you have that ugly wheel gap. My car is low no gap at all.
