Got some new HRE 20" wheels and I'm looking at feedback for the rear tire size. Both have mentioned, looking for pro's and con's of each!

I have the exact car, tires, and use HRE for my Summer (20s) and Winter (19s) wheel sets (FF04). My rears are 275/30/20. Personally, I'm happy with the aesthetics and ride quality, despite being dropped quite low.

Going with a larger aspect ratio (35) does add some meat to the tire, which can look good. But, it's a personal choice. Another consideration is the road quality you'll be driving on. Rough roads (potholes, etc.) can be harsh on a lower profile tire, and potentially increase the chance of damaging the wheel.

Are you lowered at all? Any rubbing?

I'm dropped quite low - there is essentially no gap between the wheel well and upper tires. I rub in the front when going over certain road surfaces. Never rub in the rear.
