I don't know about 255/30R20, but I can tell you 245/45R20 is definitely too big, it WILL rub.

255/35/20 should be a good all around size. What offset did you order?

+30. Does that sound ok with the tire size you suggested?

Take a look at this thread, he was able to make the 20x10 +30 work all the way around with 245/35/20 and he is pretty low and says that he is not rubbing. It's definitely a a good stretch for that size wheel.

Then I would go with 245/35/20 with minimal camber adjustments but if you don't mind running some negative camber, you'll be fine with 255/35/20. front may have some issues with 255/35/20 though since i've ran 20x9 +20 with a 225/35/20 and i've rubbed on some dips on the liner where it covers the fender to body bracket.

Thank you all. Honestly this is one of the best forum sites I've been to - even better than Bimmerpost.

I don't mean to hijack this thread but i'm trying to find an answer to a offset question i have as well. Think you can help me out?
I'm looking at a set of 19x8.5 wheels with a 33 offset and 245/40/19 all around. I have a stock 2013 AWD model and don't have plans to lower or roll fenders. Do you think they would fit or cause any issues?

You'll be fine with that size, especially if you're not lowered.
