20" wheels with higher sidewall height?
Sorry for the delayed response....I ended up going with the tire arrangement as previously mentioned....I opted to go with Bridgestone's....I can recall the serious...But they were about 1500 for the set.....The were mounted on a set of the Ruger Mesh wheels and are the standard offset you get...I got them from one of the dealers on here....The car is lowered on a set of the Eibach Springs....I'll just go thru the "+" and "-"...
Positives
1) Car looks a lot nicer to me the wheel wells look filled and I no longer have the rubber band look..
2) The car rides a lot more quieter due to the extra beef on the side walls
3) Hopefully these tires will last longer as well...Due to the increase ride height and more tread
4)No rubbing with fenders when the car is being driven
Negatives
1) When I turn the steering all the way to the right or left...The tires do rub with the inner fender well rubber guards...If you can deal with that rubbing sound you should be good...I'll removing the wheels when I get home just to check everything out and will let you guys know than...
2) When jamming along and there is a bump that I didn't anticipate the rear tire rubs inner rubber fender well guard
Thats all I got...I'm on the Rig as of now but when I get back I will put some proper pictures up....Aside from that if I had to do it all over again...I would do it the same way....Thats my personal preference....

can you show the clearance inside on the front...i know it is hard to get to, maybe tell me/us what clearance you have from base of spring seat and coolant hoses...welcome home, go for a drive and don't sweat the small stuff, thanks,
Hey guys sorry for the delay....Pictures are up...To much of a hassle to put them up on here as the resolution and quantity....So refer to the attached link on FLICKR....ANy questions let me know...
KKSWOW12...I have the Eibach springs....All the hoses are contained within the fender well and any other lines are routed around the wheels....I've put about 2k miles on it with the new tires and have had zero issues...If you got any further questions email me at aziz.ud.qureshi@gmail.com and I will try to answer them....I'll get some measurements for you tomorrow with my caliper...

Fit/offset looks good. Wheel well gap looks good. Ground clearance looks good. Tire's don't look like rubber-bands. Car doesn't look like an SUV with the higher profile tires on 20" wheels. Wheels look great. Well done!!!
