Just make sure they are the same height and brand. If you did a 245/35/20 in front, you'd need a 285/30/20 in rear. Both would be about 26" tall. A few mm shouldn't do any harm.

Thanks for the info
Would you be able to tell me what the optimal offset should be to ensure that there's no rubbing with a 2" drop?

This time we fitted Amadeusz' car with something a bit more sporty/aggressive : Flow Formed VMR V803

Looking to order vossens and I'm debating what style to go with as well as finish options and if I should do staggered or square set up. I didn't want to create a new thread so I thought this would be a good place to ask. I can't decide between CV4 and CV3. My tire shop says I should do a square set up so I can rotate the tires but they did mention that it could look weird compared to a staggered set up. For those running a staggered set up how often are you needing new tires as that's my biggest concern. I have a white 2013 GS350 so what finish should I go with as I want ppl to be able to see my wheel design as opposed to going with a dark/ black rim. Also out of the two designs I mentioned what would you go with if you were in my shoes? TIA!

Go for the CV3 style much much easier to clean. Also STAY AWAY from the Matte finish what ever you do. They stain and you can never keep them looking clean.
Lastly, No disrespect to Vossen, but I had Vossen wheels that I paid $3000 for. I then found a knock off Vossen maker called RUFFINO WHEELS for 1/3 the price! They are exactly the same as Vossen. Both made in Taiwan. Only difference is one says Vossen and one says Ruffino! I sold my Vossen and took a $1000 hit. I then bought the RUFFINO'S for $1000 and put $1000 back in my pocket!
Listen, no matter what you get, wheels get old and scraped up no matter how hard you try. Why spend $3000 for a name when you can pay $1000 for the exact same look and wheel. Again, I have had both and there is no difference except for the name, and truly, who cares! Get on Google and shop around for the look you want.
P.S. dajael's wheel and tire specs are correct.
