245/35/20 and 275/30/20 should be fine for you. I ran those when i had 20x8.5 and 20x10 wheels. If you want beefier you might even be able to do 255/35/20 and 285/30/20. Though I have no experience with those tire sizes.

255/30 305/25....... I would opt for that over all ! Hankook 255/305 ran me only 850 shipped . What a steal and great great tires too, nice and wide .

I say 245/35's and 275 or 285's/30. If you'd like more beef, you can def go wider in the rears depending on what offsets you went with for wheels.

the offset of the wheels are 20x9 +27 in the front and 20x10 +38 in the back, i want the flush look, but not the whole hella flush fitment... i was thinking 245/35/20 in the front and 275/30/20 in the back??

Go 255/35/20 and 285/30/20 it should look perfect and fit perfectly too without rubbing. you might not even need to trim anything. these sizes will provide a bit more beef than 245/35/20 and 275/35/20

255/30/20 isnt that a bit scary Doggy? have you had any problems like denting cracking wheels?. Id probably be scared to run this in the front.... I had 245/35/19's once and i dented my 2 front wheels....yay... so i stuck with 245/40/19 at that time.

Scary cause it's too thin? No way. If you bend a wheel with fat tires either you're driving like a truck lol or your wheels are too weak. He's on a 20 inch wheel so wide and thick IMO looks stupid. I have Friends that are stretched on a 30 series tire with no problem. One of our team members is running a 255/30 and 285/30 and it looks good. Not too thin, not too thick

Hmmm the wheel strength is true maybe those 19's i had were weak!. I guess someday i will have to ty the 255/35/20 285/30/20 combo before i try the 255/30/20 up front. I currently have 245/40/20 up front lol and i dont think it looks bad at all. looks like 245/40/19.
