OK Guys lets get off that subject. If you dont want any stretching or it bugs you then just do the 19x10 and 20x12 with the PS2s as shown below.
Jawnathans build is exceptional so lets not take away from it. We get that to some of you, you dont want that look. To each their own, we can build them anyway you like

Thats what you have to put on the fronts if you dont want Active handling or TPMS issues. Same setup as stock ZR1 with 285/30/19 and 335/25/20 on them. 19x10 and 20x12.5 rears. You dont want to play with that setup unless you want issues. I dont see any issue at all with the fronts and remember you saying this before. I think its absolutely fantastic setup. Put whatever tires you want on the front and when you have issues you'll be right back to this fitment. All he has to do is lower a little more and it will be perfect.
Otherwise put a 20/20 fitment on your Z if you think this is a bulging looking. You can do a 20x10.5 and that is pushing it and 20x13 rears. But there is nothing in this fitment that would take away from its functionality or aesthetics.

No disrespect taken. We all have different opinions and you brought up a valid observation and I respect it. We have different preferences. Some people want it square, others want it stretched, some may want it as wide as possible, others may want a different stance.
The beauty of this is that its all custom. You can get your wheel any way you want, they're made to order. Gerry & HRE can set you up any way you like it.
Feel free to use my wheels as a guide/reference. If you want the same stretching on the rear, then stick with 20x13. If you want to reduce the stretching, go 345s tire, or 20x12/12.5 rear wheel. If you want a stretched front, then you need to run a wider wheel or narrower tire.
I honestly don't have a strong preference for either stretched or square. I typically went square before, but don't feel strongly about it either way.
Would I rather have a similar tire/wheel fitment from front to rear? Sure and its something to consider with my next set of tires.
Do I consider it a problem or deal breaker? Nah, the wheels look great.
This is nothing a wider rear tire cannot change. Hopefully when I need another set of tires, the 345/25/20 selection will be a bit better.

Thank you. The camera is a Nikon D7000 and the lens is a Nikkor 24-120mm F4 w/ VR.
I really wanted PSS, but they aren't available in the right sizes for 19/20s 
.
I discussed this briefly in the other post, but during suspension compression, there will be an increase in negative camber and the upper part of the wheel will tuck right in. Pretty standard for double wishbone cars. I would not expect any problems with this fitment.
There is no decrease in function in either the front or rear configuration. The situation where it does become a problem is when the tire is too large for the wheel and 'bulges'. The contact patch with the road is reduced. Neither the front or rear are 'bulging' and the tread has optimal contact with the road.
However, to your point, there is a reduction in 'looks'. I agree that having a similar 'fitment' between front and rear is ideal, but I don't consider the existing fitment a problem. I will look at 345s the next go around, which will still have a slight stretch to it, just not as much as the 335s.
Yes, you can install a 275 on a 10" wheel. It is an option worth considering, but I would prefer not to go narrower as it is a compromise in function.
You will love them! The wheels are brilliant and Gerry is fantastic to work with. What finish and sizes did you go with?

Yep, what he said...
