you should put 245/35/20 for the front and 275/30/20 for the back..

According to what I have learned in various threads. The ideal setup is to keep the 1 inch difference in diameter from the front to the back just like the stock wheels. This is what the VDC system is programmed to handle. If you can do a 275/35/30 without rubbing, the difference in diameter is not exactly 1 inch but it is close. 26.75f to 27.58r.
Getting a lower profile on the rear tire is a standard practice when trying to keep both tires at the same diameter since the extra width of the tire provides more height. However as stated above, if you care to keep the VDC system working properly I would advise against getting the 30s on the back.

If you run 245/35 & 275/30 the rears will be smaller. You do not want a shorter overall diameter in the rear. I just ordered 255/35 & 275/35 for my iForged 20s on the way.

I think if you want to lower the car, using 275/30/20 is better. 275/35/20 is a little bit to thick and may rubbed if the car is lowered.
but if you dont lower your car, 275/35/20 will be great.

I think you should get 275/35/20. it will look odd if you use 275/30/20 and not lowering it.

245 for my fronts and 285 on the rear.. personally I don't know why people don't run 285's in the rear unless their favorite tire manufacture does not support that size.

Re: Tire Sizes with 20's?
 

the main reason I did not put 285 in the back was because I did not want to roll my fenders. The car is dropped, so if I don't roll my fenders and put 285 in the back, it will rubbed. thats why I just put 275.

I see.. well I guess it depends on the offset.. Cause I have 285's and I don't rub. I actually have rooms for 295's, but they don't make tire at that spec with the right profile.
