Default 20 inch riders what would you do??

From your experience what tire brand has the the roundest 245\35\20 you have seen??

I'm really torn between getting a small sidewall (235\35\20 or 245\30\20) and having no rubbing but keeping a constant look out for potholes OR getting a 245\35\20 and dealing with some rubbing and driving without worrying about potholes

Mind you I would like to drop the car with Tein CS with 20x8.5 +35mm up front not sure what to do???

I have 245/35/19 PS2's on 9 inch wheels on the front and they look nice and round because they are a little stretched . Your a half inch narrower with 8.5 so I would go with 235

245/35/20

i wouldn't do 245/30. yes that's spec diameter, but who cares. that's no sidewall at all, harsh ride, and too dangerous imho.

I agree. 245/30 is almost no sidewall at all. Like henry said it is a harsh ride. Stick with the 245/35 you wont regret it
