What tire size?

I just bought some 20x9 (22) front and 20x10.5 (35) rims and I'm not sure what tire size to get. I know that there are a few different sizes that will fit, but I'm not sure what I need.

Is the difference just about the look (stretched vs. normal)?

Can you guys give me some advise?

Btw, its a coupe and it will be lowered on tein basics.

Thanks

285/30/20 Rear
255/30/20 Front

or

275/30/20 Rear
245/30/20 Front



Does that sound right?

right now I have 275/30/20 Rear 245/30/20 Front with Toyo T1R's with the same size rim that you have. (offset is different) I have no problem with the clearance (car is lowered with stock 350z springs). I am looking to move to the 285's. Another member Gilley from from Florida has the 285's on his car and says he has no problems with clearance (he even rolled the fenders as a precaution) Be careful with the 245's on the front because both of my rims are slightly bent because of a medium sized pothole on the expressway. The more meat the better. I would roll all 4 fenders though just as a safety measure

If you have a coupe with those offsets... i would run 255/30 and 285/30 since you shouldnt have any rubbing issues.

I've also seen people doing 255/35/20 and 285/30/20

Why a different sidewall size?

With that rear offset, you can go 295 out back.

I'd go 255/30F 295/30R
