Ok my rims are 20x9 and 20x10. Front offsets are +20 and the Rears are +25.
The tires i was going to buy were the General Exclaim UHP's.
Fronts = 245/35/20
This is the tire size in question. I thought this was the correct size, DrLev suggested using 245/30/20 <- generals aren't made with that size.
He said they might rub, so what im asking you is, do you or do you know anyone who runs a setup like this? If yes, do the front tires rub at all? I dont want to rub, but if its just during a full load in the car and turning up and down hill i can manage that. If its rubbing all the time im going to be pissed. I dont want to roll my fenders and im sitting on a stock non sport suspension. Im going to spend the next hour searching this topic but if anyone could offer help its much appreciated!

You will not rub if you have non sport suspension running on 245/35/20 and 275/30/20.

FYI
The overall diameter of your wheels will be larger then stock., this will throw off your speedo a tiny bit. The tire size would be correct for 19" rims.

I would consider buying nitto or Falkens over generals. Nitto might be more, but it's definitely worth the upgrade over Generals. I ran generals before and I found that the overall tire felt softer (these were for 19). Especially on tight turns and road comfort, it's not the same compared to my gf running 20 Nitto.
Also majority of people on the forums run Nitto with their 20s and I don't know anyone who runs 20 Generals (mostly 19). Contact Trinity Autosport and they'll take care of you for sure.
