They are 20x10 +35 TSW Nurbugring. I believe they are discontinued, but if you can find them, i got them for $350 ea, in 2021 and they are lighter than the stock 19's. Im very very happy with them.
Thank you guys so much for your insight. I’m thinking about getting the rear camber kit and an alignment done. Trying to achieve as least camber as possible in rear. -0.5 sound about right? I plan on getting new wheels too. In which order should I have everything done? Get wheels first and then camber kit installed with alignment? Or Alignment first? In the perfect world I can have everything done in one shop.
It's best to everything done at once. Wheel + camber arm + alighment. But wheel can be install first and set the camber according to your preferance.
Feel free to visit our sister company website Camber / Toe Adjustment for camber arm option.
The shop I recomemend near your area:
1. EMD Auto in Anaheim (Recently worked on our customer's S)
2. EV FIX IN in costa mesa (They worked on my 3, Y, S plaid in the past.)
I just realized something that I haven't seen covered earlier in this thread or even in this forum.
Pre-refresh staggered setup had bigger diameter at back:
Front 245/35-21, diameter 27.8"
Rear 265/35-21, diameter 28.3"
So, by installing square setup, the car stance would change visually as the front would be higher.
But with refresh, front is slightly taller than rear:
Front 265/35ZR21, diameter 28.3"
Rear 295/30ZR21, diameter 28.0"
So going from stock staggered into square setup, front will actually lower.

@TechReferral, that would depend on what your trying to compare the wheel and tires with don't you think? Personally I have the same wheels with Firestone Indy 500's and I get ok range and the tires last around 30K miles on my car.
