highly doubtful you'll find these used. you should just get them from tirerack and be done with it.

I agree. These are not the usual sizes for 20s for a GS so I soubt people have these sizes sitting around. I assume it is for the GS since that is what you have. You are over 1.5" bigger in outside diameter than OEM. You'll have even more potential rubbing than the usual 20s tire sizes, which are already out of spec.

That's why I said potential.

It is quite a bit bigger that OEM. What are the offsets on your wheels? Fender mod?

So true.

And the fender shave does not hurt either.

Still, with the extra height and your drop, don't you hit the top of the front fender well pretty easily? I know I do with the 245/35 setup.

I assume you are talking about your drop. With the rim at the fender, are you saying the tire is completely tucked and you only see the rim at the fender line? That is pretty slammed. The other issue we were talking about with offset is how far the wheels will stick out at the fender. Unless you have spacers, the OEM 17s are pretty inset in the wheel well. If you are that slammed and are planning on running those 255/285 tires, you are going to see a lot of rubbing unless the offset is just right. I have a feeling your fender is going to need a little work no matter what.
