245/35 F and 275/30 R will make the backs a smaller diameter than the fronts and may cause issues with TCS/VDC. Also, the fronts will be taller than stock by a little more than 3/4 of an inch.

I would think 245/30 F 275/30 R would keep the stock diameter stagger.

Chinoo,
Do you know what the offsets of the wheels are, if they are not right for the Z you could end up with rubbing or not fitting at all.

Also there are some performance implications to going with 20s that you should probably consider. Weight, especially if the new wheels are cast can cause the car to accelerate slower and be harder to stop. Tire selection and price is also an issue in these sizes.

If you are new to all of this, I recommend you save your money and do a little research first, you will be happier in the end if you get the right wheels the first time.

Chris
