Default Correct Tyres for 20 x 8.5 fronts and 20 x 10 rears
Hi, I was told that 235/30 front and 255/30 are what I should have but I haven't really heard of both tyres being the same profile as obviously the wider ones would have a bigger wall (30% x 255 is more that 30% of 235).
Thoughts?

Correct the sidewalls are different. However if the wheels are on there mainly just for looks, I wouldn't even worry about it. That small difference in sidewall is not going to be anything you'll notice.

Those tires are way to small and even if you lowered it I think it will still show lots of wheel gap!
