Default 245/35R20 or 245/30R20 - Will It Rub?

Hello CL,

I have a quick question about tire sizes. I'm about to install Vossen VLE-1 on my car, but debating whether or not to get 245/35R20 or 245/30R20 for the front of the 3IS RWD. I know for the rear I'll be using 275/30R20, but don't know if the front will rub with 245/35R20. I just wanted a little more rubber to improve ride quality. Also, I will be lowering my car with RS-R Half Down lowering springs.

Thanks!

Vossen VLE-1

RS-R Half Down:
Front -20mm to -25mm (-0.8inch to -1.0inch)
Rear -10mm to -15mm (-0.4inch to -0.6inch)

Tires:
20x9.0 +32 - Front
245/35R20 or 245/30R20

20x10.5 +45 - Rear
275/30R20

No rubbing thus far but I intend to lower. I do not think we will have an issue once lowered. These wheels are very similar to the Vossen VVSCVT wheels.
