Tire size for 20" rims

I am wondering if I should run 30 or 35 series tires with my rims. I don't know my offsets because they were custom made for the car. Please give me some feedback on which tire size and why. Thanks

If your going 8.5 all around then 245/35 is good, that's what I use to have.
If your going staggered 8.5F/10R the 245/35 Front and 275/30 Rear is good, that's what I currently have.

245/35/20 is working perfect for my 20's

The 275/30 has about the same sidewall as a 245/35 here's the best pics I have to show it.

Just got my 20's friday, ordered falkens 245-35's all the way around non staggered setup due to AWD. I would never go with the 30 series simply because roads nowadays suck everywhere and the smallest pothole can cost lots of mulah$$.

They are Sevas S-22's 8.5F/10R with a 40 offset all around

Kazaam35X you CAN run stagered on the AWD, my car is the AWD but it is not suggested. Also the reason people run a 35 series in the front and a 30 series in the rear is for staggered setup to keep the rolling diameter the almost the same.
