245s will fit, but +255 will 'look' nicer

i took the wheels to get the new tires mount(due to bubbles) at discount tire...when i got there and after they look at the wheels and new tires(245/35/20) they told me that they cant mount them because the size of the new tires is the wrong size for the width of the wheels(20x9.5)...something bout safety bs,reputation, and stretching the tires too much...they pulled it up on their computer and says that the correct size for that width of my wheels are 255/30/20 or 265/30/20...and they said that they dont even know how in the hell i got them wheels to fit on my g35 since their computer says that its gonna have major rubbing issue...so after explaining and trying to get them to understand me,they still refuse to mount them...so i took it to tire kingdom and got them mounted it on...took them 1.5 hr to get 1 tire mounted..if the front are this pain in the *** to get mounted, the rears are gonna be worse sinces its 20x11 and im running 275/30 in the rear...

i meant 255/30 or 35 series or 265/30 or 35 series..

I've had my 452s on for a couple hundred miles. Good price, decent looks, really quiet, but i don't know, something feels squirrelly about them in turns. They seem more willing to hop a bit, kinda of sliding the rear (mostly) a little more than i'm comfortable with. Only thing i have to compare to were the mich. stockers that were on it, and i haven't really had a chance to get on it in a turn for fear of sliding out to the guardrail :/ , but it definitely doesn't seem as sticky as the stock tires.
