Default need rear tire size to match the fronts

The following are my wheel specs. I like the front tire profile, however, the rear has a smaller profile with less sidewall (has more stretch than the front). I need a tire size for the rear that will match with the front's profile.

front: 20 x 9 on 245/35
rear: 20 x 10.5 on 275/30

Here use the tire calculator to match the sidewalls. Just enter your wheel specs to compare their sidewall heights. Play with the sizes to get them to match.

Have you driven with the 245 up front already? It seems a bit wide. I'd go with a 225 or 235

so you saying 225/35 or 235/35 up fronts will match the sidewalls of the rear 275/30?

Thanks but it doesn't take into account the width of the rims because wider rims will result in less sidewall right?
