Need help with tire sizes

Looking to purchase Vossen 082 20 x 9, 20 x 10.5. What seems to be the consensus in terms of tires size for the front and rear? I see the majority of people running 275 in the rear....but I also hear that 285 in the rear will avoid the stretched look. I plan on lowering on Eibach Pro Kit. I have no idea what I'm doing which is why any help you all can provide would be greatly appreciated.

In addition, what is a good tire....I am considering Vredestein and Falken.

You can go 245/35 or 255/35 up front and 275/30 or 285/30 rear, it's up to you. Either will fit fine. I have 9.5" front and 10.5" rear wheels and chose the 255/35 and 285/30 combo.

What the pros and cons between the sizes besides price difference. Any particular reason you went with 255/285 combo?

Pros:
I prefer the wider tread and more aggressive look (my opinion).
The 255/285 combo is closer to the stock circumference than the 245/275 is which keeps the speedo more accurate.
Sightly wider stance for more stability during higher speed cornering (not much)
More tires available in these sizes

Cons:
Wider tires are more prone to hydroplaning
Slightly more road noise (not much)
Car tends to be more affected by road imperfection

what will be the offsets you will be running on those vossen 082s?
Do you know info about you need to trim the bracket on the rear to fit those in?
