yes, they will fit.

i do not run them but a couple people in our car club do.

Yes, These are what I put on after my F1s expired. Alot of people told me to get the proxys instead. However I have 4 other vehicles with other styles of Nittos and love them all for different reasons. I somewhat of a Nitto fan.
The reason I finnaly went with the Nittos is that they boast that they are great in the rain.... I live in Seattle. Here's what I think, anyone want to dispute these, please let me know:
Straight line cold = Probably not as good as the F1s when new, easy to spin.
Straignt line warmed up = No complaints, I can still spin them if I just mash it, however with a little finness I can get them to hook pretty good.
Cornering wet or dry = These tires flat out impress me in the corners especially when it's wet out. I have yet to slide unexpectedly.
Road noise = not much different, however I'd say their quieter than the F1s.
I ended up going with the staggered fit matching the factory specs, no complaints.
I will say I was a little dissapointed at first, I'd say the first week of driving on them. However after breaking them in I was more impressed. I now have about 5000 miles on them and they are showing no signs or wear at all.
I don't have any experience with the proxys however when I need new tires I will be getting the INVOs again.
As far as price goes. In my area the proxys seem to be about the same if not slightly more, besides I'm a loyal Discount Tire customer.
Feel free to ask anything that I haven't answered here, I wish I had someone to ask when I bought mine.

I am also in the Seattle area, so how do they perform in the rain and grip on highways, I currently have the Nitto 420's and want to improve on the grip.

thanks

I have 255/45/20's all the way around on my car and have put about 3000 miles on them... and love them!!!

Handles great and wears very even...

my comments are the same as everyones above. bradc is right on the money. our cars with break anything loose without some finesse, haha.

i am running 275/40/20s, they look aggressive the car definitley grips and goes worlds better than the F1s. i will certainly get these again, great tires.

I have the 420s on my Denali. The INVOs are a much better tire for these cars.
Like I mentioned, very impressed in the rain. You wouldn't think theyd be as good as they are by just looking at them.
