Tire size question

Whats up guys...got back from Miami, ready to get some tires for my Vossens...

I have vossen cv1s waiting for me at home...the standard offset, nothing crazy...20inch wheels obviously..

What size tires would be best for an eibach drop. I dont want any rubbing or whatever, hitting the fender all the goods...just a perfect setup with no problems...

I was informed like 285/35/20 and fronts 245 or 255/30/20...

all the help would be great!

I'm curious, what are the widths of the rims, 9 inch F and 10.5 inch R?

This...

SRG, you have the aspect ratio numbers for the front and rear confused. Go with these sizes posted by Pcasey and you should be good to go.

... Nice, dude. You'll be fine with a 285 on a +42 rear wheel.
