I've got a set of Velgen wheels on the way, and I have to make a decision on what tires to get. My car is AWD, so I have to keep the rolling diameters close. I am thinking about 245/35/20 in the front, and 285/30/20 in the rear. The wheel specs are 20x9 +32 front and 20x10.5 +45 rear. I am dropped on Tanabe springs.
Does anyone have experience with a similar setup? Is there rubbing front or rear? Will this require fender mods? My other option is 235/35 front and 275/30 rear, but I'd prefer not have the stretched look.
Just realized this posted to the "Builds" thread. Mods, will you please move this to the "1st gen RC thread."

Reason: Wrong board.
I have an AWD and am dropped on RSR Superdowns (1.4" front and 1.0" rear drop). Your front will be .4" lower. Exact same specs as yours with no rubbing or fender mods.
20x9 +32 with 255/30/20
20x10.5 +45 with 285/30/20.
Tires are Nitto Invo.

so the two options for 1% rolling diamater are
235/40 and 275/30?
and 245/35 and 285/30?
Im trying to match tires for my new rotiforms im building and remembered why I went with a rwd IS. Wish I did the same with my RC.
