What size tires?
I'm thinking about getting 20"s for my 07. What size tires can I get without rubbing? I am lowered with Progress springs. The reason I'm asking is because the majority of the shops I've seen recommend 245/35/20, but I've also seen a couple that recommend 225/35/20. I'd like to go with 245 but just want to make sure there is no rubbing. Also, I've never had low profile tires before. How fragile are they? Have you guys had lots of flats? Should/can I go with 19" wheels on 40 series tires? Thanks.

Expect this to get moved:
With lower profile tires and lower suspension, expect to "feel" more of the road. As far as flats go, it really depends on how the roads are and how attentive you are while driving.
I would prefer to see you go with one of these:
245/40-19 will produce a .13% diameter difference
245/35-20 will produce a .26% diameter difference
The 225/35-20 (will work, but I still think the 245 is a better fit) will produce a 1.8% diameter change. As far as rubbing, I can't comment, since I don't have lower profiles because I don't like to feel every crack in the road.
