Default Tire Sizing Advice

Hey everyone..Im looking for tires in the size 225-30-20..I have a 8-8.5 wide rims on the front and want a slight stretch on it so I can get it my car to sit a little lower. Can anyone tell me a decent tire with a heavy load rating that they have used and can recommend? Any input much appreciated. Thanks!

I like SC perfect for Lexus because of its feature a Direct Tire Pressure Monitor System.When tire pressure is critically low,the tire pressure sensor in the valve stem which is linked to the SC's computer alerts you immediately with a light on the instrument panel.The warning light will blink to alert you in the event of a system malfunction.

225/35 worked well for me. its only a slight stretch. 225/30 might be a bit too small for an SC and not be able to fill the wheel well gap to well. I just test fitted 20x10 with 245/35/20, and those tires a really stretched. they are not drifter style stretch, but there is a bit of the lip exposed
