I know your wanting to run a mild stretch but considering your planning on running air with those offsets, you may need more clearance. If your wanting to run a 35 series tire in the rear, I suggest you consider 245/35 instead. 255/30 is an option as well and will bring you closer to factory specs. 225/35 up front as well Imho. If you plan on having major bodywork done then disregard.
Here's a 255/35/20 on a 10.5
235/35 on a 9.5
For what its worth.. I'm running 235/35 on 19x10 0 and 265/30 on 19x11.5 +5
This should help you out with the math..

i feel a lot safer with 255/35/20...mild stretch but not too much meat on the sidewall... since im planning on Air Suspension and body work i think clearance shouldnt be a problem...
i just had trouble choosing tire size...i didnt want it too thin on the sidewalls for safety purpose....since im on air its easy to daily...
but those pictures you posted were great!! i have a good idea of how much stretch it has on 255/35/20....i searched on tyrestretch and couldnt find any :[
as for the negative comment .. maybe my set of wheels are not fitted for everyone's taste im sorry...
as for the positive comment thanks guys!! i bought these wheels i believe in the last few sets they made in japan....it was limited on offset and size...i had two choices what i have now..or 19x10 front and 19x11.5 rear +5 offset both...that was just too aggresive for the sc...

so my wheels are
Front: 20 x 8.5" with 225/35/20
Rear: 20x10" with 255/35/20
its a perfect fit with a very slight stretch.. so yours are 1 inch bigger in front so 235's will be perfect (slight stretch) as well as rears which are 0.5 inch bigger then mine. 255 will be perfect!
here are some pics to give you an idea
your wheels stick out quite a bit but with stock height you wont have to shave or role fenders.. but if your lowering then you might need to. here check my post on this thread

Omg... Thanks guys... So much great info and help in this forum... I feel more confident on what tire size to purchase now !...
Clearance shouldn't be an issue I'm on stock height until my air suspension comes in so yea.. The main concern is to make the wheels tuck and fit... I'll have my body work guy do that for me before I repaint my sc
