Given a constant rim width of 10", will placing 285/25/20 be the same as (and have the same rim protection as) 275/30/20?

Can you run 20" M6 Wheels on 245/35/20 and 275/35/20?

I personally wouldn't run 25 series tires, they are too thin for me.
I have F-245/30/20 and R-275/30/20, works for me
Your sig says you had 245/35/20. Why did you switch? Any noticeable difference in ride quality?

sorry, typo, they've always been 245/30/20. I did switch the rears, when I got my wheels they had 285/30/20's, now they are 275/30/20 - more in line with OEM diameter that way with no noticeable ride difference.
