according to rolling diameter, sizes with 20s should have sidewalls of 30 in front and 25 in rear. personally Im running on sidewalls 35 in front and 30 in rear, same with others as well and this is what we recommend to our customers mainly for more rim protection. we can always do the thinner sidewalls, but then again there wont be as much rubber wrapped around the wheels compared to a thicker sidewall.
