I understand why you might be worried, but I personally would not want to get tires any smaller than those if I'm going to be putting on 20's. 30-35mm is between an 1-1/4" and 1-1/3". If you go much smaller than that you are going to have one harsh ride and risk damaging you wheels if you hit anything too hard, especially with a stiffer suspension.

Those sizes should be OK...anything smaller will look funny and defeat the purpose of 20"s. Plus with the coilovers, can't you adjust ride height?

This also depends on what model you have as well as sport option or not. 2" on my car would probably rub, but like I said above...with the coilovers, I'm pretty sure you can adjust the ride height.
