wont be too small but it will be narrow and you will need to drop the car more so it covers the gap. I would go with 275/30/20.. do not forget that your stock wheels are: 265/35/19 on 19x9
so if you go 1 inch more 20x10 with 40+ offset I would go no less than 275/30/20 ... Do not miss it up

Thanks for the info, I want to go with 275/30/20 too, however base on the Rays web site it suggests the tires sizes are 255/30/20 for the rear. I am worry it will rub if I go bigger than 255

This is the wheels I am going to get. and the info from Rays Japan

Rubbing happens in front if you go 20x9. but 20x10 in rear is fine. most of the members here are going for 20x10.5 with 285/30/20 so they have rubbing issue. I wouldn't listen to a what websites have to say. I go and see what my eyes tell me. Actually you are doing the perfect size 20x10, I would also go 20x8.5 front and tires sizes 275/30/20 and 245/35/20, respectively. If I were you I would do 235/35/20 front ( hard to find those tires though) and 275/30/20 with Tanabe springs. The reason I say this because I found out that Tanabe's springs drop the front more so you could play a bit with the size of the tire and put 235/35/20 instead of 245/35/20.

and everything I just said is my opinion and based on many F sports I have seen with aftermarket rims.

you do your own thing

mshmsh thank you so much for your helped, I am using 275/30/20 and it has no problem at all. Iike you said 275 it's perfect size and it lower with Tanabe springs hopefully it will lower a little bit more later on, it's a bit higher than my M now

Thank you so much Mshmsh
