Default 99 GS tire set-up 245/30/20 front & 255/35/20 rear

Need some input. I had four 20x8.5 rims with tires on 255/35/20. Two of my tires had a flat and now i need to buy new tires. I was wondering if this set-up would be ok for my 99GS400

Front 245/30/20
Rear 255/35/20

The front tires used to rub and that is why im wanting to change its tire size, as well i would want the front to look lower. What do you guys think?

Thank you

It will work but I dont know why you would want to do this. The rears will be about 1.25" bigger diameter.....you won't be able to rotate......and persally won't look right. Go with the same size all around unless you go the staggered route. Good luck

personally i would just do the same size tires all around, since your wheels are same width front and back.
