'11 new wheels/315's
Finally got my Forgestar F14's and Conti ExtremeContacts on yesterday.
275/40R20 Front on 20X9 +40
315/35R20 Rear on 20X11 +53
Very tight fit, but no rubbing. Rear tires do touch the Bumpstop pads when the rear-end is at full drop, but no problems when loaded.

Excellent 
Please post these pics, more if you got 'em, in the customer rides thread on Tires/Wheels homepage with ALL the specs and any issues you had. I was unsure one could run an 11" wheel on and S197 and wonder if there is a bit more clearance on the 2011 models.

Yup.... they are an A/S tire, so will not provide a whole lot in dry cornering unfortunately. I am surprised you went with an A/S in Texas, as I wouldn't think you would need them. You will have greater grip issues once you go with your proposed add-ons listed

^ excellent
I would expect 50K miles from those tires, so long as you don't wear your cement shoes on the weekends
Def a good idea to get some 15"s for the 1/4, as you will need them to get the mad hook up at the Christmas tree, yo!
Be sure to keep the diameters of the fronts/rears within about 3/4" to avoid ABS sensor issues.
