im getting 20x8.5 front and 20x10 rear. tire shop recommands 245x35x20 front and 275x30x20 rear.
my problem is i had this set-up on my last set of wheels and the rear tire was stretch.
I wanted to ask you guys if i can go 285x30x20??
tire shop tells me the 285x30x20 will not match the 245x35x20 because it will be taller??

You can ran the 245/275 setup on the 20x8.5 20x10 no problem. You can go 285 as well, but it's a little bit more cash. I would do 285 for more grip. I have 295/30/19 on my 19x11 rear and 245/35/19 on my 19x9 Forgestars

I would roll the fenders. The front you would cut some plastic off the wheel well and the rear you would roll the fenders. That should fix it.
