tire advice..

I've just placed an order for 20" TSW Wheels and need help with the proper tire size to put on 'em...
front 8.5 w/ + 20 offset
rear 10 w/ +25 offset

I will be dropping the car one inch w/ either Eibachs or Tein S...
I've placed an order for Falken 452, 245/30 front and 285/30 rear..

My questions are...would there be any rubbing with this setup? (I do not want to roll my fenders)..and initially I wanted to get 255 for the front wheels..would that be too wide?

sorry in advance as i'm sure these questions had been answered on here before..i've searched but hadn't really got the answers i'm looking for...even the local shops here are unsure and each of them have different answers...
thanks in advance..

Haha, I just got 20s with 245/35 fronts, 275/30 rears. Without the drop, I'd say you'll have about a 3 cm gap from the tire to the fender (that's what I have). I think with that set up, you definately should roll your fenders to be safe.

I don't believe with your offsets you'll need to roll your rear fenders. Our Gs came with 225s in front 255s would be over kill, the 245s are a better choice. Hope the Falkens work for you, that wouldn't be my choice in rubber....

Falken are noisy at least mine were. Im runing Nexen N3000 now cheaper tire but no road noise like my falkens.

i have +20 in the rear on 285 and rubbed like crazy on 30 series tires. on 25 series it never touched as soon as i put the 30's on it did. Just get someone with an eastwood roller to do it, mine turned out great no cracked paint and now i can dump it and not have to run crazy negative camber
