What size tire for 20x8.5 / 20x10?

Hey guys, just needed some feedback on what size tire I should run for some 20's. The tire calculator doesn't help because of the difference in the width of the wheel. I have OEM 18" wheels (225/45/18 front, 245/45/18 rear) on my G35 coupe which is stock height without Brembos. The wheels I'm looking into getting are 20x8.5 in the front and 20x10 in the back. I wanna run as close to stock specifications as possible. Thanks.

to be as close to stock diameter as possible you would need 255/30/20 and 285/30/20. That will just about be dead on. stock is 25.98" and 26.69", those sizes will be 26.02" and 26.73". That's as close as you'll get.

took the words right out of my mouth! any more, you'll have problems when lowering your vehicle. you can run the sizes the DHCrocks is using, but if you lower it more than an 1"+ you'll run into probs. the tire brands play a role in sizing/clearance as well.
