I am running that set-up on my 2000 now and I have no problems at all. I don't know the tire sizes off the top of my head because they were on there when I got the car but can let you know.

Yes, it will take a 19/20 setup. I ran a set of Imola Design 22's on my '00 - 19x8.5 in front and 20x10 in the rear. Looked good IMO.



BTW, tire sizes were 245/35ZR19 front and 285/30ZR20 on rear. Tires were Michelin Pilot Sport 2's.
