Default 20" offset question

Fronts- 20X8.5 - 45mm - 245or235/35 tires?
Rear- 20X8.5 - 35mm - 255/35 tires.
I think the rears will be fine, what are your suggestions for the fronts? 45mm anyone?? Thanks in advance.
The tires Iam going with are Falken ST115 or Nitto 555's

I am curious as to why you are buying a setup like that (same width, different offset). It looks like you are doing a staggered setup half way. You don't get all the benefits of a staggered setup (like fat rears, more power transfer) nor the benefits of same width (tire rotation).

lol.... that's what I was doing as Iam working with a budget, I just came across a nice set up with 40mm offset all around - 20X8.5 fr and 9.5 rears. <- Iam goin with this setup - I want to stay as positive as possible because I want to drop the car 1.5" with H&R springs.
Thanks for the responses.
