I have had lots of PM's asking about the wheel and tire setup, so I thought I would post here.
I am a stickler about trying to stay as close as possible to the OEM tire diameters when going to different tire sizes and in my case in moving from an OEM 18/19" combo to 19/20".
The OEM tires and outer diamters are as follows:
F - 245/40/18 = OD of 25.7"
R - 285/35/19 = OD of 26.85"
Tire Sizes that come close to the OEM sizes are:
F - 265/30/19 = OD of 25.25"
F - 275/30/19 = OD of 25.5"
R - 295/30/20 = OD of 27"
R - 305/30/20 = OD of 27.2
R - 305/25/20 = OD of 26"
Based on these options I chose 275/30/19 for the fronts and 295/30/20 for the rears as they come closest to the OEM and are plenty wide enough for me.
The TSW wheels bring the outer edge of the tire right to the fender lines and I have no rubbing issues.
I chose the General Exclaim UHP tires which are known to be a pretty quiet easy riding tire and have not noticed any harshness over the OEM's.
I won't say where I bought the TSW's - just do a TSW search in the parts F/S page and you will get the names of who is selling them.
Thanks all

Some have PM'd about the source of the decals...
I got them off ebay - if you google "decal specialties" the first link that comes up will take you to the ebay page where you can buy them.
The size I bought are 1.5 by 1.25 inches.
The seller is named Robbie and he provided good service - the decals are of good quality.
