One benefit in keeping OEM sizes is the cost of tires, right? If not tracking, though driving spirited, would it be OK to keep these sizes or size up?
Thanks!

I have no tracking plans. I also dont believe the 285 width is truly enough for this car.
I kept the 9.5 up front but in a 20" with a 275/30/20. For traction, especially if any power increase is planned (or with the 8AT), I would say 305 or 315 is a must. Keeping stock power, I would still want 305s in the rear. With these sizes, 11" width is required.
If you shop around, I dont think the price for a 285/30/20 is that much cheaper than a 305/30/20.
