I'm running 235/35ZR20's in the front. I was looking for a little more of that stretched look in the front. The back's are 275/30ZR20's in the back. I only get a micro rub with the trim(plastic) piece on the fenders which I'm going to remove soon. If your not going to roll your fenders then I would say 275's max for the back.

Just to let you know those tire are way overspec. They're both over 3% larger than stock. Are you planning on dropping it? I'm pretty sure they're gonna rub..and what do you mean by "well i ended up ordering 35 in the front and 45 in the rear"?

they are what, .2" larger in overall diameter? is that really going to make that much of a difference? I was looking for offset help. I ordered +35 in the front and +45 in the rear

also, i forgot to mention, my car is AWD so the tires must be very close in overall diameter
