Not sure if you're going for the stretched look but that's what you'd get with those sizes you listed.

245/30/20 front 285/25/20 rear

I do want a stretch but not a crazy stretch either. Thinking of doing a 265/35/20 rear not sure yet.

I have 20x11 rears and I'm running 245/35/20 the stretch pretty extreme, Now that I'm installing air I may go with 255 or 265. with that said. I haven't had a problem and the ride is very comfy on Tien Springs.

a 265/35 is 1.5" taller than stock. Use this site to see how tall a tire is compared to stock http://www.discounttire.com/dtcs/infoTireMath.dos
