Tire fitment question.
I currently run Work Equips 20x9 +46 with 245/35/20 tires. Will 255/35/20 tires rub? I don't plan on lowering the car any lower than it is now. It's not slammed.
On a second note my rear rim is 20x10 +42 with 285/30/20. Will 295/25/20 tires fit without rubbing at the current height. The current setup doesn't rub and once again the car is not slammed.
Overall I would say the car has about .75 to 1 inch gap all around.
The current tires are Bridgestone RE960. I am thinking of trying the Continental ExtremeContact DW
Thanks in advance.
Mods, I know this was posted in the 2GS forums, but I figure I would get more help here. Thank you

Your tire sizes are wrong.
The 295/25-20 is about 1.25" shorter in rolling diameter when compared to the 255/35-20 size. If you want to go wider, the ideal sizes would be 255/30-20 and 295/25-20.
The offset on your front wheels is a bit high so you may have rubbing on the suspension. I would take some measurments to see if you have the extra room. The 255/30-20 will need about .25" more room to the inside. The spacing towards the fender will be fine.
In the rear, the 295/25-20's should work but you may need to roll/pull the fender and if it still hits, dial in some negative camber. You'll need about .25" more room towards the fender for these to clear inside and outside.
