Need help with tires, again

So time to replace the front tires, but might have to replace all four. On the front, one has a hole in the sidewall, and the other has a bubble starting in the sidewall. My current tire size on the front are 235/35/20, and the rear are 285/35/20. I want a front tire with more meat to it, but I also do not want to trip the abs sensor again. What size would yall recomend? Wheel size on the fronts are 8.5 +35 while the rears are 10" +38.

Also when it is time to replace the rears, I will most likely stick with the BFG sport comp 2, but will have to downsize the width to 275 due to rubbing on the bumper to fender bracket.

Is it possible to have a front tire work with both a 285 and a 275 rear width setup? I assume yes, but I might have to change the rear sidewall height?

Thank you!

You sure on your rear tire size, it would be better if it was a 285/30/20, otherwise it will be quite a bit taller. I'd run a 245/35 front 275 or 285/30 in back.

The whole reason I have such a tall tire is due to a mix up at NTB. But I am sure that is my current tire set up.

Am I able to run 245/35 on the front with my current tire set up AND a 285/30, or is it one rear size or the other?

This is why I'm not able to run 285 in the rear, at least with a 35 sidewall. It's so bad if I floor the car, the rear sinks enough to rub.

Your front wheels will indeed take a 245. It won't look stretched but it's the size I use on my coupe 19s.
