New wheels and tires for this spring...20" x 10"
The Victor Equipment wheels have a very nice fit and quality finish. I feel the 10" wheel is 1/2"-1" too wide for the front but it is in-line with the top-center of the front fender. Perfect width for the rear. The Pirelli Scorpion Zeros (275 40 20) are great. I will probably go with a 45 next time to fill the wheel gap a little more. The ride is much better than I thought it would be. Not rough at all...just normal and expected. Took it for a spirited drive in the twisties after mounting them up today and they handle great!

So, after driving on this new set-up for a week, here are my thoughts. 8.5" to 9" on the front would be a better option than the 10" wheel for a summer set-up. Of course with a 8.5 -9 " wheel I would use a 265 tire instead of a 275 (just my thoughts). You feel a little wheel drag in the steering and the steering wheel is a little tighter due to the wide front set-up. Initially the Pirellis had noticeable road noise up front but now that the new has been knocked off of them they have quieted down a bit. Going with the lower profile 275/40/20 it is a slight harsher ride but not bad at all. Only place I really notice it is going over speed bumps. Now, when the vehicle is coming off of speed bumps, it feels like it has less wheel travel and the suspension is rebounding too fast. I am very happy with the set-up though.

Looks very good.
FWIW, I have factory 20x9 Sport Technos on all four wheels. They came from the factory with 275/40/20 tires on all four wheels. I'm very pleased with the ride quality and the handling.
