Default 20" Tire Fitment for '00 gs300

Hi. I posted this earlier but in the wrong section. But what I am asking is out of the below tire sizes (for front and back all the same size) for 20x8.5 wheels (all around front and back) which should I get to fit my '00 gs300, it has no mods or anything, stock everything and it's not lowered and like I said it would be the same size wheels and tires for front and back...

The tire options from where I am getting them for the tires all around (front and back) are:

245/35/R20 <--- default option #1
275/45/R20 <--- default option #2
225/30/R20
225/35/R20
235/30/R20
235/35/R20
245/30/R20
245/40/R20
245/45/R20
255/30/R20
255/35/R20
265/50/R20
285/50/R20

The other tires up there are extra $$$ but I just want to know which of the above will fit on the front and back with the same tire size on 20x8.5 (front and back) with no mods having to be done and no rubbing/other issues. Just a nice clean but upgraded fit/look? If none of the above will fit without any probs/mods/other issues which size tires should I get for the front and back?

Thanks,
Anthony

If you are running 20x8.5 front AND back, then the common tire size you can run is 245/35/20. You may want to drop the car a little to get that "fit" look, otherwise...

Ahh. Thanks. I know this is a dumb question but is 245/35/R20 the same thing as 245/35/20 (no R in yours lol)?

And if I don't get the car lowered and have the wheels/tires put on are they going to stick out a bunch with the 20x8.5 all around on the 245/35/R20 all around?

Tirerack suggests: 245/30-20 for all around or
Front: 245/30-20
Rear: 275/30-20

I just don't want to have these shipped out to me and come to find out they don't fit or I'll have to start chopping away at the fenders or worse... I don't mind if they stick out a little but I just dont want any rubbing/other issues... Sorry to repeat stuff so much, I just want to be clear As soon as I hear back I plan on ordering...

I ordered the wheels and tires a few hours ago so I hope the 20x8.5 all around fit on the 245/35/R20's all around

Nice. I could have went with 225's but from what I hear those don't offer a lot of protection to the rim (not that the 245's offer that much...).

---> wowitztai, are you running them on the front and back and are they on 20x8.5 or?

Also should I get the 20mm offset or the 40mm offset? Thanks again so much, I'm not so worried now...

thanks again,
anthony
