I on the other hand has been thinking of going 20's

How's the ride comfort going from 19 to 20? I'm sure more rubber is better for bumps and road noise. Just want to get your opinion how much louder or harsher going to 20's.

No trimming or any kind of fender modification. I believe I'm at -1.5 rear.

You think this is the case if you went 285?

I would say that yes, the 20's are a bit harsher and noisier than the 19's. The difference doesn't really bother me that much though. Of course, it will also depend on the tires you're using.

I had 285/30/20 and without fender/bracket modification, had rubbing issues when going over dips and bumps. This is with Eibachs and 10.5" rear wheels with +37 offsets. I have no idea what my camber was...

My new tires on the way are 275/35....cheaper and I wanted a little stretch and poke action (thinking of adding 15mm spacers)

Probably not. One of the socal guys here with the white coupe on Tokyo time attack runs the same offset and wheel width but on 285 and he had to shave his bumper bracket. I'm not too sure about his ride height and camber settings but he did say you still need to shave the bumper bracket.

I'm actually going 285 when its time for new tires.

I'd like to see that 35 series on a 20 for the rear. You should be good with the eibachs I think. I'm not really into stretched look but I think 275 on 10.5 is just the right amount of stretch (if that makes sense).

35 series in the rear would be too much meat. For sure it will have rubbing issues. Still waiting for my tires....its in the middle of the Pacific Ocean...somewhere.

I didnt want to be a sheep so I decided to take a different career path...
