I would recommend that you contact Ben from Wheels Boutique at 866-519-4335.
I am about to buy a set of HRE 547R they are 19 x 9.5 in front and 20 x 11 in the rear they are going on the sam size tires - Front 275 x 30 x 19 and the rear 305 x 25 x 20. They sell this package all day long and they have the sensors already mounted and balanced and will be shipped to my door. I was given there name and number by Guy Atherton with HRE Performance Wheels. It will work and will fit under your ride and will not cause any problems with your computer.

I met with TNA "Tyrone" last night to look at the wheels myself, first off the wheels looked awesome. probably the best looking forged wheels I have seen to date. BUT, the other thing that Tyrone did not bring up is that the rears 20x10.5 and stuck out atleast 3/4 to 1" past the fenders. Wayyyyy too much for a "custom fit" forged wheel. I talked to JT and Paul and they said these were already pre selected offsets from the distributer in order to get a discounted price. I don't know who was the one who decided to go with that offset, but I know I would be pissed as hell to spend FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS for wheels that don't fit. To me it is like they just sent him a set of wheels without ever checking them out themselves. The wheels sensors don't fit and the rears stick out too far. I personally would send them back until they got it right.

select quick upload and upload video. then paste the video link here.
btw, why didnt you buy the wheels from John at CCW, thats the guy who makes them rather than deal with a middle man and pay a higher price?
