Please help me ID these wheels, choose tires
The car I just picked up came with these wheels and I have no idea how to identify them. They're 20", no spacers and the wheels are flush with the body when viewed from the front or rear. They have mismatched tires (Hankook's front, Pirelli's rear) and the tire sizes don't look right to me (245/30/20, 295/30/20). First thing I want to do is get them refinished and put new tires on them. I want to move to 305/30/20 in the rear and 245/35/20 in the front but I'll have to check on Tire Rack to see if those sizes are compatible. Will this cause issues with the AWD system? I am going to lower it 1" just using H&R or Eibach springs and retain the stock PASM so I also have to worry about clearance.

You just saved me a lot of money on refinishing rims. The rears are 20 X 10 which is the widest they sell and that is why they have 295 rubber on them. The previous owner put them on and they really just don't have the right look. Thanks! Now I can get whatever I want.
Edit / update: I put some 19" wheels on that were decent from TireRack with stock tire sizes and had the VMR wheels stripped down for later use or sale. When I measured the width between the bead surfaces they were 11". This enabled me to get the exact look I wanted by powder-coating them and putting the right sized tires on (245/30 and 305/25) Now they look incredible! I now have dedicated 19" track wheels and these are my street wheels.
