Looking for the right tire and size
 
So I'm about to buy a set of wheels that are 20x9+25 and 20x10.5+15 - I have KW v3 coilovers but don't plan on dropping it too much. I also have front and rear SPC camber arms with toe bolts.

Function over form for the most part, I don't want to run any crazy camber or do any stretching. With 4.08s I want some decently meaty tires, ideally 265 in the front, 305 in the rear. Hoping they'll fit well on x9 and x10.5 wheels. Id like to stay as close to stock diameter as possible but I don't want a rubber band look either.

Some Ideas I have:
Nitto NT555gen2 - 265/35/20, 305/30/20

Pilot SS - 265/35/20, 305/30/20 (Bonus: are these tires supposed to be pretty lightweight?)

Nitto Invo - 255/35/20, 305/25/20

Pilot PS4S?

I'm pretty tire ignorant so all feedback and suggestions are welcome!

Michelin Pilot Super Sport is a great tire and many here use it and yes is probably the most lightweight tire you can find although there is a thread about the PS4S which from what i have read here and other websites is suppose to be an even better tire since is the replacement of the PSS but it was just release so we won't know for sure until people start putting the tire thru its paces but you can't go wrong with the PSS.

I just recently bought wheels and tires , so i researched this alot lately.

255 fronts and 295 rear would be about 27.0" diameter in 20's, close to oem diameter approx. 26.8"

For me i chose 19" wheels, didnt want the additional weight and wanted more tire between the rim and the road

265 and 305 would be just slightly larger than oem diameter, probably would work fine if you didnt lower too much,imo. I chose these tire sizes but in 19"

I chose continental extremecontact DW, could not pass up 50% off!!
