315/35R20 is ridiculously too tall!!! Just so u know that's the same size a BMW X5 uses on the rear.

Your 295/30 is already oversized too.

Please use this Tire Size Calculator as a reference guide and compare is to the OEM sizes
http://www.1010tires.com/tiresizecalculator.asp

215/60R16 (OD 26.15)
225/55R16 (OD 25.74)
235/45R17 (OD 25.32)

So in other words the tire you choose should be between 25.32 - 26.15 OD

305/25ZR20 (OD 26.00) (more common and many choices)
or
315/25ZR20 (OD 26.20) (Rare size and almost no choices)

would be more appropriate. How wide is this wheel of yours anyways?
