255/30/20 is more likely to bend--ask the guy selling his 20inch lowenhart LSRs in the classifieds. 245/35 is safer

Yes I know, but the tire is too thin compared to the wheel, that is the only dislike. My toher concern is the wheel diameter grows by 1 inch making the car higher and the speedometor reading inacurate. I guess this subject has been talked left and right and sitll can not decide. Some pleople her are using the lower profile setup (poleposition one of them). another choic eoculd the 285-30-20 in the rears
so for some reference below are the wheel diameters:
Factory
245-40-18 25.72 inches
275-35-18 25.58 inches
Current
245-35-19 25.75
285-30-19 25.73
20s Option 1
255-30-20 26.02
295-25-20 25.81
20s Option 2
245-35-20 26.75
275-30-20 26.50
20s Option 3
245-35-20 26.75
285-30-20 26.73

At 26.75 it shouldnt throw it off that much. I had 27.8 before and that threw it off by 5mph I think and my DSC thingy was going nuts. 245/35 and 285/30 sounds safe, I wouldnt worry about the speedo too much
