Default tire help please.

hello can someone please help me size some tires i find this to be very confusing maybe someone could help clear up some things. My current set up is a 245/35/20 all around no rub at all (no drop)

My new rim specs are 20x8.5 et26 and 20x10 et43
could i run a 265/35 in the back and be fine? i dont see why i would rub or do i need a 265/30 i find this to be really confusing. But idk if i would also like to drop in the future.

specs im thinking now 245/35 and 265/35 ideas would be a great help remember i am not lowered now. will ride quality be that much diff from a 30/35?

if you're riding on stock height, you shouldnt have any problems with running 265/35/20. But if you plan on lowering your car you'll run into rubbing issues.m

my setup is
19x9.5 245/35/19
19x10.5 275/30/35.
and i rub every now and then on a hard bump. you should be fine if you're not lowered.

I decided on 235/3520 and a 255/3520 hopefully that will be better for the front
