Ordered a set of these caps.

Cool. What are your impressions of the driving experience (handling/acceleration/steering feel and response) change with the bigger wheels/thinner tires and the Toyos?

I was concerned going up to 20 would make the ride too harsh from the smaller side walls. But, they are not really any harsher. Going from 255 to 275 up front probably helps with that. I would think the smaller side wall will also stiffen up the feel when cornering. I only put 50 easy miles on them so far. I haven't had a chance to push them or try them in the rain. They are quiet though, can't hear them at all. I am not having any issues in the rear, but the front are rubbing the fender liners. I could hear the tires hit a couple times when there were dips in the road. So, it's not a constant contact. I figured they were hitting the fender due to the offset, but I don't see any marks indicating that. I'm on stock suspension, so there is a pretty good wheel gap. The tires ripped the push pens out up front and scuffed up the liner in the rear. Not sure how to avoid this. I don't want to eat through the liner. At full lock either way, the tire touches the liner.

That is the risk of going with too big a circumference. I would recommend, if you can, swap your front tires to maybe, 265/30 and reducing overall circumference. You might get a little more gap and less sidewall, but at least you will have enough clearance when steering is on full lock.

so 5mm more offset to a 40mm would have helped this a little considering the outside edge of the tire is contacting, but Rolla's suggestion would be the solution at this point to reduce the diameter just a tad without buying new front wheels. Or you could contact that wheel company and tell them they provided you with incorrect spec wheels and see if they'll exchange for the better fitting 40mm offset.

Rear liners are cut through. 265/30 is probably the easiest solution, but stretched tires look bad to me, plus the wheels poke out more than flush. Get Your Wheels is working on a solution. Vertini decided the offset, GYW decided the tire size. I asked for flush fit, not stretched and as wide as I could go with stock suspension.

Looks good. Its good to see the sizes and offsets they provided you. As for your rubbing issue keep in mind not all tires fit the same. If that makes since. For example, I had a 255/30 Toyo Proxy on a 10" wide wheel and it actually fitted like a 265 and did not SHOW any obvious sign of stretching. I'm sure there is a site or someone who knows which tire companies run small/big. So you might be be able to, like me, find a 255 that fits the way you want.

I agree, 265/30 should not be a stretch on the 10 inch wheels. Width difference between 265/30 and 255/35 is additional 0.4 inches. Stock, we have 9.5 inches front and 255/35 and it is far from being stretched. Adding 0.5 inches more to the wheel while adding 0.4 inches to the width going up to 265/30 seems perfectly fine to me.

265/30/20 isn't offered in this tire. Next step down offered is 255/30/20, which is a +1 match to OEM size.
255 on a 10" wheel isn't a good fit. This wheel isn't offered in 9.5, so it would have to drop to 9.
If there is a 265/30 that will work, the rear tires would have to be changed to match.
I put the stock wheels back on the car for now.

what tires do you have? It looks like Toyo Proxes....
