You spent a considerable amount to get one of the lightest (if not the lightest) available set of 20s on the market. Function is the only way to go if you intend to enjoy this to the fullest.

Since you're going to be dropping on coils soon. I would go with the 285's. They will fill in the wheel well nicely with those conservative offsets, and being that you can adjust the height on the coils you can get a good amount of drop and still have plenty clearance.

Not at all. I ran a 285 on a 10" wide wheel for a long time. 275 is a ever so slight stretch. 285 is just right if you're not going for the stretch look. Here is my former setup with 20x10 +35 with a 285/30 on eibachs
