Everyone one I've talked to with 20 x 10 run 30's in the rear. I'd recommend going with the 30's.

30 series is typically the correct size to go with most cars. the middle number is a percentage of the first number so the profile on a 30 series with a width of 215 is way different than a tire with 295 width and 30 series profile.
