Default HELP Tires!!

Hello, I am new to the forum, happy to be here...I have recently purchased a Black Lexus SC430, 2004 and have bought 20" 9.5 rims for front and back. I was wondering what tires I can fit that will fill the wheel wells a little better but not rub very much...I was thinking 275/30-20 in back and the same up front unless I should do 245/35-20 up front.....should I go larger in the back, I'd love to fill out some of the space...how big can I go and not rub....anyway, open to suggestions for best look, least rub compromise, thanks. Already have the rims, so no point suggesting alternative rims, thanks.

First, welcome to the forum.

I'm afraid that I will be of no help to you, but I'd suggest discussing it with someone from Discount Tires (or some othertire store with a good reputation).

Since its 20x9.5 all around, you may consider 245/35/20 (this will increase overall ride heigh buy 1/2 inch or 255/30/20 (fit better on 9.5 wheel and closer to factory ride heigh

When it comes to rims/tires sizes, whatever grabber2 says, i 100% agree with lol

Yes, you could, but why?

Unless they are a staggered setup, I don't see the point, plus the most important offset info is missing.
