They have a 20x10 and 20x11 available with a 35mm offset which would allow me to comfortably tuck a 275+ mm tire.

I considered it for a moment, but I do think that 19's are perfect on our 2GS cars. Looks very proportional relative to the size of the car.

Varrstoen, if you are listening, hook up the daily driver crowed and put a smile on our face by offering the following :-)

19x9 25mm or 19x9.5 30mm
19x11 35mm
+1 on the 19's, I tried 20's twice and did not like the looks.

How much camber?
I think the Michelin PS2 tires were your problem. I had my hands on a 245/35/19 and 275/30/19 set and they seemed huge compared to my past tires that size.

True, the PS2 is huge size for size.

Default I have lots and lots of photo's just let me know!

Very nice write up! If anybody would like some more photo's i could post up my old 245/35/19 rears and 22/35/19 fronts setup and the current setup which is 235/35/19 fronts and 235/35/19 rears....they are 9.5 +22 and 11 +22. The first setup was on hankooks V12's and the second setup is on goodyear eagle GT's up front and Nankings in the rear. it was the only tires i could find at the time so i took them. I would NOT suggest anybody getting the goodyear eagle GT's btw!
Let me know....
I would also like to see 225/35/19's and 255/35/19s on these. i will be trying to fit the 255's in the rear this spring.

Any pictures? ...and how did it fit with those sizes? I purchased 19x9.5 +12 and 20x11 +35 and was planning on going with either 225/35 & 255/30 or 235/35 & 275/30 depending on fitment...

Where did you guys purchase the center caps for these wheels? I had contacted the venders and none of them will sell it separate or they do not have it.
