Bit of a small development, but I was able to source Pilot Alpin 5's in 275/35/19 and bought an extra set of 826M's to put in the back.

However, I just learned that you can fit 285/35/20's out back with no problem as long as the ride height isn't low. I'm now considering 295/35/20's in Pilot Alpin 5 so I can retain the stock 20's and not have to spend much more on an extra set of wheels that are finish mismatched (didn't get the bi-colour 826M's).

I've attached a pic of Soom's car that has 285/35/20's out back in Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 4's. It looks.. interesting with the 35 series on the front and back, but I genuinely don't mind it since the wheels themselves look great. I think I'm going to lean towards ordering the 295/35/20 and pairing it with the 275/35/19.

I wonder if the OD difference will be a problem besides the speedometer error. But does anyone have any thoughts? I really would rather just keep an extra set of tyres rather than an extra set of rear wheels + tyres.
