Tire recommendation on 20" Forgestars

Just picked up a set of Forgestar F14s for my sedan and was wondering what tire sizes to go with for a flush look. The rims are 20x9 front; 20x10.5 rear.

Also, can anyone explain to me why some people run higher series profiles on the front rims rather than in rear?

Tire width selection is more dependent on what your vehicle height is and wheel offset. So, with that being said....are you lowered? What offsets are on the wheels?

Ive never really seen anybody run different size profiles front to rear? You have to remember that the middle number is not the actual relative height of the sidewall, but is only a ratio of the width of the tire.

Fronts are +18, rears are +20. The car will be dropped on BC coilovers.

Will probably need a 285 for the rear, but I'd expect rubbing, especially if on co's.
