Exclamation Tire question!!!!

Hey guys, so I am looking at these rims and they are 20x8 in the front, 20x10 in the rear. The fronts have 235/30/20 in the front and they are good, and the rears have 275/30/20 in the rear, which have to be changed. My question is is what tire size do you think I should get for the rears? I have K-Sport coilovers on my car right now and riding on the stocks, it sits inches off the ground. I plan on rolling the fenders out and I want a snug fit while I keep the same ride height. What size should I get? .... Any brands you suggest?
Also, I could change all four sizes too, what do you think is the best set-up?
Thanks -

The 235/30 is perfect for up front, it's not too wide and is a 30 series which is what you want for a good stretch. Thats not a common tire though, sure it's not 235/35? Also are you sure the front is 8" wide and not 8.5" wide? If your going to want an aggresive setup that will have the wheel sit flush with the fender I'd get a 255/30 for the rear.

Yea, the wheels are 8 in the front and 10 in the rear but plans changed, I'm not purchasing them anymore. They had 235/30 in the fronts which I know isn't the usual, I've seen 235/35 and 225/35 but not 30. The offsets I don't know what they were but like I said, i'm not getting that set anymore. I want a staggered set and will probabily do 8.5 in the front and 9.5 or 10 in the rear. What's a good offset?
