Getting some new wheels (iForged Daytona 20x8.5 & 20x10). Want to get some 245/30 or 245/35 in the front & 275/30 (apparently 285/30 will rub so I've heard, is that true?) in the rear. But I don't know what type of tires to get. I'm looking for a combo of performance and looks. Any opinions?

ALSO, IF ANYONE KNOWS!!!
I have been trying to find out if 285/30 or 295/30 will rub in the rear w/ 20x10 wheels. I've gotten mixed answers and I'm just trying to find out before I get my wheels in a week. IF ANYONE KNOWS, please let me know...thanks guys. I feel like all the wheel and tire shops are idiots around here and that people on here know 10x more info. than the shops themselves...

T- rack recommends 255/30 and 295/ 25, probably fine at reasonable ride height. From looking at the specs, they do look right on to the OE diameters.

Whatever you do - go for Michelin PS2's.
They look superb and handle extremely well.
