In fact, I went with the exact same model and color of Ferrada, same front spec as you, however I did opt for the 20x12 et25. Running the same 325/30/20 sport cup 2 (mine are the Mercedes spec, not sure what you're on. Difference is the Merc spec tires are .2" wider tread overall). Fit perfectly, zero rubbing on stock suspension and have even driven with 4 adults in the car on this setup. No rub. My issue however is the cup 2s aren't suitable for the street it seems. Zero grip in 1st, hardly any in 2nd, slip 3rd on cold days even (Only running a dinan stage 1, stock 295 pss hooked way better). So I've been doing research to see if the 335 PSS would be possible, hard to justify spending $900 on a set of tires I don't know will fit. Photos below of my setup.

That's great to hear I helped out! I'm just on normal Cup2 tyres, not manufacturer specific.
I run the Cup2 and Ferrada setup from November to April and agree that when they are cold they aren't that good but once they are warm they are absolutely brilliant.
I'm trying to decide if they have degraded a bit from when I last had them on the car as I feel they have less grip now than I remember from running them last summer/autumn. I kept them in my office which has 24/7 aircon that would have kept them between 19c and 22c for the entire period they were off the car so I don't think it is a temperature thing but maybe an aging thing. I have definitely burnt off a bit of tread trying to find grip
It is good to hear you can run 20x12" 25mm with 325 tyres, that would mean that a 335 would definitely be possible on my wheels....but I'd want to run a bit wider, either a 12" or a 12.5"
PSS is a bit older though compared to PS4S, I wonder if you'd be better served by 315/30r20 PS4S?
