I believe @NoBadDay was asking about my choice of 255 for the front tires -- I don't recall exactly since it's been a few years, but I believe it was either because 245/35/20 wasn't available for Continental ExtremeContact Sport at the time, or it was for some reason cheaper than 245 width. In any event, I've experienced no downside in going with 255. It actually feels more planted to me. Also, the sidewall/shoulder of these Continentals are not as squared-off as equivalent size Michelin PS4S tires, so there's also a bit more curb protection for me to go with wider width.

Nice! @Vagking !

What's the car lowered on?

I got my car aligned finally and put the spacers back on all around (10mm F, 15mm R; only the rears are on in these pics). Fitment is great now.

Recently purchased a 2013 C4S in Platinum Silver and I have a friend with some 19" 3pc converted LMs he's trying to sell me. This thread has my savings account worried about its short-term future. (I'd build them to 20".)
Great looking car, OP.

This is exactly what I was looking for. I found some discounted 19" LM, but would have to buy a new tires for it. Total Pricing on 19 vs 20s is about the same if I'm able to use my current tires. Might pull the trigger soon.

How was the ride comfort on the 20s?

The ride was actually better than stock. My stock 20's were the original wheels from 2016 but the car was CPO and had new tires mounted and balanced and aligned before so I chalk up the improvement to just being due to having a brand new set of wheels.
