the difference is 6mm, which you can not tell from just looking at the wheel with your eyes. that is less then 1 percent.

i know people that put a 225 on an 11 now that is rediculous.

yes that is brembo fitment.
r disk has and extra 25mm to allow for bigger brakes.
mine are a disks which are +8mm to clear the stock brakes, but will not clear brembos or a bbk.
my rears are o disk just like yours, which means oem. the are mean +25mm extra from oem, and a is +8mm extra from oem

you are forgetting that the stock front size is 225/40/19 and is ~1" shorter than the rear, thats what I mean by height stagger. Doing so will also cause the car to lose some of its raked stance and actually raise the front of the ~1/2". To me, this looks retarded, of course that is my opinion,
but the FACT is that 245/35/20 and 255/35/20 do NOT come close to matching the OEM front tire diameter.

the point is if you dont want rubbing issues go with a 245/35/20 front and 275/35/20 rear.
take it from someone that has experiance with and 11" wheel width and a more aggressive offset. my 285s barely rub as it is but im running -4 degrees of camber. next set im goin withthe 245 275 combo to lower the car somemore.

here is a comparison of the 225/45/18 and 245/45/18 vs the 245/35/20 and 275/35/20
225 245
245 275
as you can see the difference in the diameter differences is roughly the same and is very negligable.
the 245 275 combo actually has a taller difference than the 225 245 combo, and will thus put the rake look back into the car!!

here is a comparison of the two
the 275 is taller but it isnt as wide, so it will be more stretched than the 285. when you stretch a tire the side wall will get shorter. now whether 1 cm smaller width will make a tire shrink down 2cm's,i dont know havent tried it yet.

Why anyone would do this when 245/30/20 and 275/30/20 sized tires are plentiful is puzzling to me, especially for someone who prides himself on being "dumped". There are no advantages to running a 35 series tire on a 20" wheel other than rim protection, and if that is so much of a concern, maybe you should reconsider rolling on 20's
this is only my first set of 20" tires. all of my other ones have been 19s and have been 245 35 19 275 35 19. now when i get another set or 20" tires, i will have to look into them.
and advantage to a 35 over a 30 is that it will hold more air and will improve ride quality, as well as protect the wheel more which you stated.
never said i pride myself on my car being dumped, was just stating it. personally it doesnt matter to me what you think. i had to raise my car 3" in order to clear my new wheels, no big deal. car just doesnt sit 2" off the ground anymore, and is easier to drive around town

i installed the wheels today, i ended up with going 245/35 and 285/30. Bad news is, i had really bad rubbing issue at the rear. It was only 1 person and 2 oem 18" wheels inside the car [on the way back from tire shop], i had very bad rubbing issue on the rear when i'm cornering w/ only 15mph. Is it normal or something wrong with my alignment?
