Need help with tire size decisions.

Cooltoy, if you take the +25 on the rears, they will be sunken in 18mm into the fender than my rear wheels:

You will have absolutely no problem with rubbing. I don't rub what so ever with my setup.

I personally would get option 1 and run 255/30/20 on the fronts and 305/25/20 on the rear. That will keep you at the same OD as the factory tires and will make the tires fit square on the wheels with no stretch. Option 1 sucks the wheels 15mm into the fender as compared to my fitment. Again, no issues with rubbing. If you need anymore fitment pics of my car, just let me know.

Thanks for the advise.

Two things that are different between what you have and what I am looking to do.

1. I am not looking for an aggressive set up like you have (just want the tires to line up with the fender(15-20 mm) from stock).

2. You are lowered, and I am staying stock. So I wil not aver the advantage of the wheels tucking in a bit.

Lowered definitely looks better, but no can do.

I just measured my "poke" past the fender and its 13mm. So if you're staying stock height, I still suggest getting option one. They will be just shy of being flush and if in the future you do lower the car on Swifts, you won't need to buy new wheels because the fitment will still work.

Different philosophies.

I'd cringe if I was had even 1 mm poke. Lowering will never be an option. Places where I need to get into (at an angle of course), I only have two fingers worth to spare.

I hear you. I can't believe how low the car is stock. Then I lowered it on Swifts and wow, its really low. I can't believe people go even lower...
