Help me make a wheel/tire decision

[stags]

Gents pretty simple question-

19x9.5 with 285 on all 4 corners

Or

20x9 w 275 front and 20x10.5 on 285 rear

My plan is to use pilot sport as3 rubber- I'm committed to keeping an all season tire and 285 is as wide as the michelins go. As far as aspect ratio I will try to get as close to stock height as possible, maybe a little taller to give the 3.73 a little more length. Car is lowered on steeda sports. Rims will be graphite verde axis.

My fears are that
1. the 19' will look small and I won't be happy
2. The 20x10.5 w 285 (especially compared to 20x9 on 275 up front) will look goofy as a 10.5 rim could easily take a bigger tire
3. The rears will have clearance issues (I will not roll my fenders)

Your input is highly valued- perspective is appreciated.

Why do ppl put skinny ass tires on these cars. Go 305 or 315

If it wasn't a dd in a climate prone to ice I'd do summer all day but the widest all seasons are 285

I have no experience with them, but you might want to look at these Continentals - they finished 2nd to the Michelins A/S 3 in the Tire Rack test and are offered in a 315/35/20 and have some 275 options. You'll need at least a 45mm offset with a 10.5" rear wheel to prevent rubbing on your fenders with a 315.

Yeah i like the staggard setup. I'd do the 20's with 9.5 up front with a 275 or 285 on it and a 10.5 in the rear with a 295 - 315 in the rear.

Also if you not gonna do boost then there is no reason to go more than 295 in the rear. If your suspension is dialed in the 295 with a good tire wont break loose in first. Any more than that an you adding weight.
