I had some new HRE FF15 wheels and Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tire installed last week at Graham Rahal Performance in Brownsburg, IN. The wheels are 19x9.5 ET55 and 20x11 ET78. The tires are 245/35/19 and 295/30/20. I liked the looks of the stock chrome 5 spokes and wasn't sure about black wheels but Graham talked me into these and I couldn't be happier. It gives the car a "racier" look which I like. I was also concerned that the larger wheels would ride a little rougher, but I got just the opposite result by getting rid of the old runflats.
Looking good! Now all you need to do is get those calipers paint matched...
Yeah, I am probably upgrading to the Z51 brakes which will give me larger rotors. I haven't decided on the calipers yet. I have always liked the looks of the big brake painted calipers but it seems like your eye gets drawn to the caliper instead of the wheel. Its a good thing that I have all winter to think about it!
haha I agree. Those wheels are pretty slick. I actually made a post regarding a very very similar setup question so it's nice to see a base body style on here with the 19 and 20. The wheels I was looking at were 19x8.5 up front though but id image a 245 would still fit. Hows the 295s? Do they stick out at all? Is it a little bit of a stretch on the 11" or are they just right?

Neither tire stick out at all past the fenders. 305s would fit the wheel better but the 295s don't look bad at all. The 295s look to be about the max width that you can get under the narrow body rear without sticking out past the upper fender lip. Here is a shot of the rear of the car. It isn't exactly square with the rear but it gives you an idea.

Looks good!
