Go with a very conservative width.

20x8.5 front and 20x9.5 rears

The question is... do u want a deep dish lip or no lip?

if my friend can run a 20x8.5 and 20x9.5 on his 2IS I don't see why we can't. He has 2" lips in the front and 3.5" in the rear. Given they can make wheels with a more aggressive lip if u wanted... 5" for the rear and 3" for the front.

with a 20x8.5 and 20x9.5, u can run a 245/30 or even 235/30 to aviod rubbing in the front. the rears, u can use 255/30s which will be ok. 235/30 and 255/30 will give the wheels a streached look and help out with any rubbing issues. not to mention they are not as expensive as 275/30s
