Varianza T1S 20" Tire Sizing - Unequal Walls

Okay, so after two months of waiting, my Work T1S are finally arriving next week and now i'm working on selecting tire sizes.

Anyways, I purchased 20x8.5 (front) and 20x9.5 (rear) for my 2004 Sedan. The Sedan is lowered with 350Z revised spring set - so about an inch all around. My rears are rolled.

John from Work Wheels is recommending i go with the following wheel sizes, but not sure if the unequal wall size makes sense? Or maybe its just not enough to be noticeable.

FRONT: 245/35/R20
REAR: 275/30/R20

Any thoughts?

Thanks

The number in the middle is a ratio and not a measurement.

For 245/35/20.... The side wall height is 35% of 245.

FOund u here lol

actual width are the first Numbers. 245 fronts 275 rears. 245/35 on 8.5 inch is a good match for 275/30 on 9.5 inch rim.

Its a common tire setup in staggered world.
