Default which tires for 20 inch wheel?

i have 20x9 for front and 20x10.5 for rear
currently im running 245/35/20 and 275/30/20
....
should i switch to 245/30/20 instead for the fronts? I read that 245/35 is not the right size for the fronts

I'm thinking of going to 245/30/20 front and 285/25/20 rear. That is supposed to be as close to original rolling diameter.

I'm running:

Front 20X8.5 R-Disk et 38mm
Rear 20X10.0 O-Disk et 45mm
Tires: Hankooks Evo110 V12 245/35/20 and 275/30/20

Slightly overspec, so I do scrape even after pushing in my wheel lining. I'm also dropped an inch on front and back suspensions.

I opted to get that extra wheel height to offer my rims some protection against pot holes.

I just ordered those exact same tires... How are you liking the v12s?
I had Ventus ST's on my 08 harley f150 and they were awesome

onephatguy tire specs are ideal. If you run the same size as greyhndfan you will experience the same. I've read great things about the V12's.

I do rub, so that's why the next set will be 245/30/20 and 285/25/20. I'm currently running 245/35/20 and 275/30/20 Falken's. Wish I would of went with my gut, but another Lexus owner convinced me to run the first set.

Here is Discount Tire's wheel calculator. Keep in mind your wheel width when comparing.

I'd go with 245/30/20 and 285.25/20 mine rubbed with 245/35/20 and 275/30/20. Ride will be a little bumpier but at lease it's less likely to rub.
