Default What size tires??!!!

So I,y wheels are 20X10 rear and 20X8.5 front, 40 mm offset. I am going to get spacers all around prob around 20 mm. I was wondering if I should get 245/30/20 front 275/30/20 rear, 245/35/20 front 275/30/20 rear, or 245/35/20 front 275/35/20 rear. Let me know asap pleeeeease. I wanna order the tires today. Thanks!

245/30 and 275/30 should be the tires you need, but most run 245/35's up front.

Thats what i wanted to do, however the 245/30 is on back order for a few weeks. Apparently 245/35 protects the rim more

Took a chance recently, & came out on top! Instead of the stock 225/50R17s
I got 215/55R17s...MY MONzTER DOESN'T RUB AGAINST CURBS, UNEVEN SUR-
FACES OR SPEED BUMPS ANY MORE!!! They're Regattas, by Good Year, &
they've turned out to be g-r-e-a-t! Low noise, no jarring ride AT ALL!!! The best part is the final price, after a 20% discount: $128.OO/ea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The OEMs were $21O.OO/ea (Potenzas [Bridgetown]), which are NOT as good! Whoa!!!

I think you would have been better off getting 245/35s for the front and 275/35s for the rear at least. That has to be pretty stretched on a 10in rim.
