I'm in non-sport suspension. I have staggered 20" 245/35/20F and 285/30/20R. Do you think I can run 255/35/20 for the front? I'm constantly battling tire rim/bead leaking about a year after the front tires are installed. I'm thinking that over time, the slight stretch of the front being 245 is letting dirt in more which gets trapped around the bead and then causing a leak. Do you think 255 in the front will work to seal it better? Will it rub? If it rubs, will it rub on the fender side (which I can then roll) or the engine side?

BTW. I used to have 275/30/20 on the rears. I switched to 285 to take care of the seam bead leak issue.
