Ummmm....Yes they will bro...with a smaller tire. I have that rim size with 225/35 in the front and 255/35 in the rear and they run fine that way. And I am lowered on Tanabe GF210.

Why is everyone so afraid of fender rolling? You want semi-aggressive fitment but won't take the necessary steps to do so.

I run a 20x9.5 with an offset of about +22 to +25 (can't say for sure because iForged doesn't release their offsets, but my 'rough' measurements put it in this ballpark), with a 275/30/20 in the front. I run a 20x11 with a similar offset range as the front with a 295/25/20 with rolled fenders. I haven't rubbed at all in the few weeks I've had these tired mounted, keep in mind however that I run quite a bit of negative camber to make this work as well.

Your proposed setup should fit, but may rub occasionally without rolling your fenders (dependant on the tire make and model, some tires run wide and some run narrow, similar to shoe sizes). Are you lowered? If so, do you know what your camber measurements are at?

Also forgot to mention before I got the tires I listed above, I had 245/35/20 in the front and 275/30/20 in the rear. Definitely had no issues with that setup, it wasn't even close (had fenders rolled at that time as well).

245/35/20 and 255/35/20 should not be run in the front, it is too tall of a tire, almost an inch taller than stock. This will decrease clearances, raise your front end, and kill the stock tire height stagger. In some cases, depending on your rear tire choice, it will actually be taller than the rear tire. This just looks bad and makes no sense in terms of performance and may cause VDC issues

^ i don't think you'll need to roll fenders at stock height. your widths and offsets aren't that aggressive anyway.

I can understand where you're coming from being in BFE, although I know there has got to be shops in AL that can do it, it may be a long drive though. The 245/35/20 I used to run in the front was the Falken FK452, while I wasn't a huge fan of the tire itself, that tire runs normal size IMO. At stock height I do think you'll be fine.

I agree, go with a 30 series in the front/rear.

I would have run a 30 series in the rear (versus my 295/25/20) to match the 30 series in the front (275/30/20), but it simply wasn't available in the tire I was buying and the deal I got on them was simply too good to pass up ($89 per 295/25/20 at Tire Rack FTMFW!!!).

Your 295/25/20 is fine, what you need to change is your front 275/30/20 to a 275/25/20

I'm looking to run a front and rear set of 255/35/20f 285/30/20 on a 350z, would I eliminate any rub issues with just having the fenders rolled?
