So 245/30/20 fronts and 285/25/20 rears? Will the sidewall still protrude to give that "meaty look" and keep the wheel safe?
If you want more "meat" for protection, you can also
run 245/35/20 and 285/30/20 with round shoulders
(or 275/30/20 to be sure in avoiding any rubbing issues).

Those would be the ideal sizes for fronts and rears.

Big improvement....looks perfect.
You rubbing in the front, rear or both? I would think the front only since 255's never really work on the non-M cars.

very nice Frank and happy birthday
I have a little bit of rubbing in the front when I make a U and on the rear when I hit a slight dip on the road running about 70.
