I have a calculator I made to look at offset, rim width and tire width and how a proposed size will compare to stock. I have a 1LE, but plugging in those proposed sizes yields front tires sucked in about 5mm compared to my 285s, not significant and not going to look bad, but it also shows that would make the rears stick out 15mm more than my stock 305s. This IMO could be significant. This could rub on the panels during compression, there isn't a whole lotta room there to start with when you have the 305 to go further outward.

Check with flow form wheels or Paul from PK autodesign, these two dudes can definitely get you nice wheels with amazing fitment.
Could you please post a pic & the offset as that is exactly what I want to do in the front. Thanks if you can.

can you explain your calculations? Doesn't seem to make sense based on the wheel and tire size I am talking about.
