1. For a long time there was not much selection for 30 series tires to fit out car. There is a little more now but still not great. Less choices also equals premium cost for the ones that are available.
2. The sidewalls with 30 series will be very thin. Ride quality would suck even worse. Wheel damage would have higher chances since there is even less rubber protection. The sidewalls are stiffer but there is just less of it.

The sizes are not WAY out there so abs should be OK.

Actually, I'd stay in the 40s with x10. I have 20x10 +38 with 275s and I had to shave the fender. Other than that, bluelex's numbers are good. Here is some good reading for "safe" sizes:

OK, here is my final decision....HAHA. How about 20 X 9 +38 in front with 255/35/20 or 245/35, and the rear is 20 X 10 +43 with 285/30/20? w/o lower the car or any fender works. Will that be too aggresive? will the rear be too stick out the fender? Thanks for your helps....
