20in wheel / tire question

I am purchasing a set of 20s next month and am wondering what the best tire size for the rear would be.. It's a 20x10.5 wheel. I'd like a 295-35-20 but I feel like that would rub due to my HR Springs. Do you think a 285-30-20 would cut it in the rear?

The set up is going to be

20x 9 front
20x10.5 rear

Please chime in on what you think would be best for optimal traction.

Thanks!!

ET 25 Front

ET 35 Rear

I live in NY and a 25 sidwall is dangerous with these well paved roads

I am a fan of meaty flush fitment so Im trying to get something along those lines and have a much traction as possible.

How do you think a 255-35-20 or 245-35-20 would do up front with a 285-30-20 or 295-30-20 rear?

Do the sidewalls have to match??

The setting that I'm actually using is 20X9 front 255-35 et 20 and 20X10 rear 295-30 et 34 with no issues. But your rears going to be 10.5 wide so 265-30 with 285-30 could work great.

Traction traction traction. You think a 285-30 would cut it in the rear? I have 295s on my 19s.

Honestly - i would run a 285/30/20 in the rear. Thats the setup we run on most 10.5" wide or 11" wide rear wheels.

Give us a call if you have any questions at all!
