20x335 in back and 19x275 front. Michelins. Height is not adjusted yet, will probably be lowered another inch and a half in the front.

Looks good. What are the actual tire sizes though?
20x335 doesn't tell the aspect ratio.
Normally, tire sizes are listed as width, aspect ratio and rim diameter.....335-35-20.

I'm hopefully just starting it up today after doing a ton of work. I'll get more pics when I pull it out today.

Got my rims yesterday. 20 on the rear and 18 on the front. Im going to change the chrome stripe to green like the car.
I LOVE that color combo. EXCELLENT tire sidewall proportions and stance as well.
Those tires you're running are Firestone Firehawk Indy 500's. I run those in an 18" on my 2019 Honda Civic Si 6-speed manual and they are an EXCELLENT sticky tire and look bitchin' on your car. Tire traction that can be provided from a tire like that is one reason I've often contemplated upsizing from 15" to 18", except I don't often see wheels that I like in 18". Thanks for sharing photos of your car!
I think key to that fitment are the Nitto 555R's you've got there. I run the same tire in a 275/60/15 and their overall width is noticeably narrower than that size in other brands.
I've run both - the Nitto 555R's on a 15" rim (rear only) and the Indy 500's on 18" all around on my 2019 Civic Si stick car. The Indy 500's are WAYYYYY stickier than the Nitto 555R's. I absolutely love the way the 18" Indy 500's grip and handle. Please note - the Indy 500's in 17" and up are a completely different tire compound compared to the Indy 500's previously offered in the RWL 15" size.
Do you have a side profile photo of your car? What size tires/wheels are you running?
