Redundant Fitment Question

Seems like many people have or get 255/45/20's. I also have that tire size and wanted to get new rims, the ones I liked were KMC from carid.com that are 20 x 8.5 .. Those should fit correct? I matched them with tires they also have to see and the only sizes they show are 245/45/20s

Be VERY careful with tire size on the SHO. ESPECIALLY after our tune...traction is a mother at 255/45. IMHO if you are going to step down in size go stickier and lower the car! We recommend the H&R lowering springs.

What's your opinion on the Megan coilovers? TIA

Well wait no, Im sticking to 20s and moving up to 255/45, how is that going down?
 
Plenty of people running the 255s on the 20" rims without any trouble, some of them are on H&Rs, I believe.  bpd Mike runs them with his Megan coilovers, I believe.  Research and use a tire appropriate to your application & driving style.  Lots of good tires to choose from, including Michelin Pilot SS, Continental DWS, General GMax, Pirelli Cinturato P7, Hankook Ventus V12 etc.

I thought you were talking about 255/45 TO 245/45...which is 1/2" thinner. My bad, I misread. I have like 11 forums going in my browser ATM.

Yah man I was gonna say what are you talking about lol. Made me double check everything cause I just bought some Michelin pilots. Great grip on those.
I personally like stock height, especially cause my exhaust seems to sit kinda low
