Not sure on what tire sizes you will need, but you need to keep the overall diameter of the tires within 1.5% to avoid awd problems.

Depending what offset on your wheels the best combos are~
235/35/20 & 275/30/20 for a almost perfect 0.07% variance or a
245/35/20 & 285/30/20 for the same variance.
the 245/275 combo you listed will be close to 1% off and your back tire is already smaller than the front, since the rear tires wear faster your variance will get worse over time, not a great plan. Variance over 1% has been known to cause issues w/ the AWD at speeds over 75.

Your wheel widths & offsets will determine how much tire you can run.
