Default 275 too wide on a 9" wide wheel?

I have a set of 20x9 wheels (for a 2gs). I was planning on running 245/35/20 on the fronts. I have an extra set of 275/30/20's in the garage and was wondering if there would be any concerns with running them on the rear wheels. Tirerack lists the rim width range at 9"-10", so it looks ok, but want to know if there is anything I might be missing. If its not ok, I may either run a matching set of 245/35/20 so I can rotate or run 255/35/20 for a little more meat in the back.

Thanks

They'll look a little "buffalo" on the 9" wheel, but they'll fit okay.

Not sure if I'm crazy about the "buffalo" look. Maybe its better I go with a 245 or 255 for a little weight reduction.
