Yeah, but all the wheels in your thread are 10.5 wide in the rear. I talked to another guy (dieseldoug)and he said he rubbed with a 275 on 10 inch rear +20 even with the Falken tire. I really don't want to run a 265 because of the stretch so I'm trying to see if any other tire might work.

I'm confused. From what I understand you are dropped with eibach, have a coupe and want to go 8.5 +15 10 +20?

How come, you aren't going for the norm offsets 32/42 or 20/25?

Which tire is the slimmest in that I might be able to run these without requiring any shaving to my bumper bracket?
I have generals and have no complaints, for the $ there worth it.

Falken 452's are some of the skinniest tires you'll find.

Ok, I've changed my mind and I'm going to go with 235/35/20 fronts and 265/30/20 rears. I think that will be a good balance of meat and stretch and I won't have to do any modifications.

TPMS? If I don't run them what are the downsides besides obviously not knowing when your pressure is low? For instance, will I fail an inspection when the time comes around?

Just ordered the Generals in 235/35 and 265/30 (Going with your recommendation Doggy). Hopefully they work out.
Side rant, how much does Discount usually charge to mount tires? I was quoted for $25 a piece. Thanks.
