Ok More Help Needed Here
Alright guys..here we go.
I have 245/30/20 on 8.5 " wheels in the front and 275/30/20 on 10" wide wheels in the rear. 03 non brembo coupe...I dont like the way the 275/30/20's dont fill out the rims so im changing to 285's. However I also dont like the profile of the 30 series in the front(too low). First question. Would it look ok to have a 35 series in the front with a 30 series in the rear? I would go with 35 series all around but im told they wont fit?? the offset on the rear wheels are 25mm. Any help would be great..

stick with the 285/30/20 in the rear it's also closer to stock then the 275/30/20.

SERIES is a percentage of the width.It is not actual size.If you go wider in size ,the diameter will also increase.That is why there are different series.A 245/35/ will be the same overall diameter as a 285/30 will be.If you are still confused ,go to a tire mfg.website and it will explain the details to you.

what he said....the series of a tire is the aspect ratio. it's a measurement of the sidewall height of a tire. the overall diameter of the tire is = the rim size + 2 (sidewall height).
The sidewall height is the aspect ratio x tire width (this is in mm and needs to be converted to inches).
here's a few sizes for you to compare.
for the front:
225/45/18 = 25.98"
245/30/20 = 25.79"
245/35/20 = 26.76"
255/30/20 = 26.03"<-----best choice
255/35/20 = 27.03"
for the rear:
245/45/18 = 26.69"
275/30/20 = 26.50"
275/35/20 = 27.58"
285/30/20 = 26.74"<-----best choice
285/35/20 = 27.86"
305/30/20 = 27.21"
