Are the tires the Nitto 555s? I don't own those tires but I've heard plenty of good things about them.

You should stay within 3% of OEM tire height. The OEM 16" is 26.1" in height and the OEM 17" 25.3

The proper tire size you should go with is

235/35ZR20 Front 26.47
275/30ZR20 Rear 26.49

or if you want a very mild stetch

225/35ZR20 Front 26.20
255/30ZR20 Rear 26.02

I'm going to run the same wheel set up as you but I'm going with

245/30ZR20 Front 25.78
285/25ZR20 Rear 25.50

No Stretch, max width, proper tire height and slammed. I chose the shorter setup because there will be less chance of rubbing when slammed
