supposedly the overall diameter needs to be the same so that the AWD drivetrain wont screw up. my brother's car uses 245/35/20 F and 285/30/20 in the rear. you might have to trim the rear with a 10.5" wide wheel. he runs a 20x10" and he had to trim the rear fenders on his GS, but his GS is slammed on Tanabe DF springs. if you're in doubt i say give D2 or a reputable wheel dealer a call and they should have the correct wheel specs for you.

Thanks IS_250. Like I said I'm running the NF springs now and do not plan to lower any further. From the research I've done I can see that there is a ton of room in the rear for a wide wheel. My main concern is the fronts. With an 8.5 in the front will I experience any rubbing being as low as I am now? Is an x9 possible?

with the right offset... a 9" wide in the front will fit fine. you will probably need to mod the fender plastics a bit and that its.
