20" tire advice

Hi guys,
I need to order some tires for my wheels. They're 20x8.5 F and 20x10 R. What's the recommended setup? 245/35/20 F and 275/30/20 R? Or should I go with 35s on the rear also? I've read some threads about this throwing the VDC off. I'm looking at the Toyo T1-R, but it seems that they only make them in in 275/30/20. Any other recommendations? I'm looking to stay under $1000 for the tires. Thanks in advance.

Im Currently Running 245 35 20 In The Front With 285 30 20 In The Rear Without Any Problems. With A 10" Rear Rim I Thing It Would Be Best If You Went With 285 Rather Than 275 So The Lip On The Rim Wouldn't Stick Out So Much

Go with 30 in the back and you can should go with 285. It will look better more flush with rims. I have 275 30 and it look okay too...good luck and post pics when you get the tires intalled.

Here are mine check them out and let me know what you think:

Nice setup, master. Looks good. I think thats good advice with the 285/30/20, but I don't think the T1R comes in that size. At least its not in the chart:

Any tire recommendations under $1k with that size?

Oh, I didnt even think about the tire type you wanted. If they have 275 go with them.
Here are some ebay links of 285 not toyo but take a look:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2-285...spagenameZWD1V

for front: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/FREE-...spagenameZWD1V

I think these are pretty good tires for the price. Both free shipping and great name brand. For a $1K its hard to choose. Let us know what you end up doing.

I was thinking about going with the Falken GRB FK-451. 255/35/20 and 285/30/20. I've read some decent reviews on them, but discount tire direct says the 285s are on backorder and won't be available for 30-45 days. Ugh.

Wow. 2 months! I couldn't wait and ended up ordering from discounttirezone and got them delivered 2 days ago. They had them in stock and shipped the out to me the next day. I paid $803 shipped. Found a place nearby with the Hunter Roadforce balancers. Gonna have them mounted and balanced tmrw.
