Default Tire sizes for 20's. Help please!!

I just ordered a set of 20" Axis Milanos 8.5/F, 9.5/R. The tires I ordered are 255/35 F and 285/30 R. Are these sizes correct? I used the calculator and I see the rear diameter is smaller than the front. What are the proper sizes?
Thanks for the help.
Mike

They just got released. So, Chris, you are saying either the 275/35 or the 285/35 rears are OK to go with the 255/35 front?

You should be fine with 255/35/20 and 285/30/20 I know someone that runs that setup on a G-Coupe and he has no probs with VDC and Slip lights coming on.

I was told by wheelboutique that 285/30/20s in the rear with 9.5s wouldn't work.

He isn't bothered by the fact that the rear tire is .3 of an inch shorter than the fronts?

Well, after many calls, I decided to go with 255/35 fronts and 275/35 rears. The Nitto 555's (first choice) are on backorder so I had to go with the Falken ST115's. Does anyone have any info on these tires? Now I can't wait to get them installed. Thanks all.
