if u want, you can meet up with me today and i'll show you what to do. First thing first, you need to get rid of 245/35 for the front, use 245/30 only.

if your car didn't rub before but it does now meaning it is lower than stock. Raise it back up.

no they are 245/35, I've seen his car before, I think it made a typo.

235/30 is what I am running and works fine with tanabe springs. I think anything bigger would be a lot of rubbing. Get new front tires and you should be fine.

245/35 is still too big IMO if he wants to drop it....i hear a lot of guys complaining they rub on stock suspension with 245/35's. I still stick with my recommendation of 235/35

I have the Bridgestoen portenzas and they dont make 235/35/20 so if i go with a diffrent brand would that be bad, or should I replace them all?

Dunlop SP Sport Maxx have a 235/30ZR20

With a 20" front I'd recommend using a 30 profile anyways, seems 35 profile is more for the 19 inchers.
