Neo is right, here are the specs, not much but enough to make a difference.

245/35/20 sidewall height 3.37 inches or 85.598 mm.

255/35/20 sidewall height 3.51 inches or 89.154 mm.

well, actually even with 245/35, if the car is lowered enough in the front, he will rub like no tomorrow already

that's the nature of 20s with normal setup. if it's low enough, it rubs the top like hell

you can see 4 little screw holding the black trim, just take them off and the black trim comes off.

however that's not enough, coz' you see the fender now, jsut the same size as the black trim. now you will need to shave this thing down al lthe way, if you haev very aggressive offset on your wheels
