Default 20" tire size on non-lowered GS

What would be the best staggered tire size on a non-lowered GS.

The rims are Niche Deez
front: 20x8.5
rear: 20x10


Thanks for any help

I'm running the NITTO NT555 Extreme ZR 20's 300 tread ware rating
Front = 245/35 ZR 20 95W
Rear = 275/30 ZR 20 97W

Front rims are 20x9" wide
Rear rims are 20x10" wide

better picture. Wheel gap is 1 1/2 inch on sides and about 2" on top. Rims and tires fit even with the fenders.

Do your tires rub with your current setup?

I have turn near lock to lock and gone over bumps with no rub. I don't know what the off set is because the rims and tires came on the showroom GS when I bought it.

osokuko - great rims (I have them in 19's)...can you snap some shots of your ride from all angles? I have the 350AWD and desperately need to lower but would like to see what the ride looks like with a normal wheel gap (the 350AWD has a terrible wheel gap)

I was told the 245/35/20 will rub in the front. I hope not because it's more brands to choose from. The 245/30/20 is limited. Thanks guys. This will be very helpful.

pic of the wheel choices.

I never would have thought that it could get away without lowering,something to consider!
