I guess I am going with the 225/35R20 after all. None of my dealers had the Nittos in stock so I have to wait until Thursday now. Pretty bummed out about it. It looked great on the SS!. If I had the coilovers now, I don't think it would be an issue

Hmm, shouldnt be that far off. I have read of tires 26.5" diameter fitting, and yours figure out to 26.8".
What is the offset of the wheels? Are the tires close to the fenders?
Are those to high, rubbing the bottom of the spring, or are they too wide and rubbing the strut housing?
