Also, its bad enough I'm going from the 21 inch 325 rears to a smaller size. I cant bare the look of the 19 inch square setup. It looks like a bull with his balls cut off.

I just want to say what a great site you have here. This is my first post!
I know it's a little early to be thinking about Winter tires but I want to be prepared. How did you like the staggered 20" Pirelli set up last Winter?? I'm debating on the Pirelli RF's but also contemplating the staggered Toyo's Observe GSi5 (which you can buy in non run flats). I'm also thinking about running a square 275 20" set up with 10" rims and spacers in the back so I can have more tire choice ie. Blizzaks, Hankooks, Pirelli non RF etc. I don't think the 19" set looks very good at all so I'm going to stick with 20". I'm interested to hear about everyone's set up?
