20 inch Tire 35 Sidewall for ISF
I did a search and couldn't find any past threads discussing this tire size.
Tirerack is recommending 225/35R20 (F) and 265/30R20 (R).
I was wondering if anyone is running a 35 sidewall on the front and if they had any fitment or rubbing issues.
I've seen other sites recommend a 30/30 (F/R) sidewall and also seen alot of setups on here with 30/25 (F/R).
I'm considering doing a 245/35R20 and 275/30R20 but wanted to get some feedback.

First Off, the sizes TireRack is recommending are close to the stock OD, which, of course is desirable, but are significantly lower in load carrying capacity than the stock tires. Reducing load carrying capacity is not something you want to do on a street driven vehicle. For a garage queen, maybe OK.
Second, you must realize that a 25, 30, 35, or 40 profile is not a constant height, but a height that varies according to the cross section of the tire. That value is a % of the cross section of the tire.
To Maintain the stock OD with this proper load carrying capacity with a 20" wheel would require something like a 255/30/20 in front and a 295/25/20 tire in back.
The sizes you are considering would be ⁴/₅” higher in OD in front and ½" larger in OD in back than stock.
