Default Really torn, please help, wheel size and tire size

So I have narrowed my wheel search down and have landed on these 2 options for wheels/tires.

Eurotek U02 black:

19x8.5 front +35mm with 225/35/19
19.9.5 rear +40mm with 265/30/19

Concept one CS-6 black:

20x9 front +36mm with 225/35/20
20x10.5 rear +45mm with 255/30/20

My question is how stretched are these going to be? I will be on stock suspension for a little while while I decide what springs I want, do you think I will rub?

Thank you!

Give me some input!

I have solved the rubbing/stretched issue.

Now I need to decide what will look better, my car is black.

Also the concept ones are about $450 more for the package.

It's your car, you should be able to decide what you like more than what we like.

BUT for the sake killing time, I will give my input....

The eurotek's look a lot like the enkei raijin's and tsw nurburgring so if that's the path you wish to go, always check price and more importantly, weight!

I, personally, think 20's are too big for the 3IS, so I would go with the eurotek/enkei/tsw look-a-like wheel. Good luck!
