Default need help from a wheel & tire guru

howdy ya greetings from TEXAS!!!

i am getting rid of the wheels i am currently on and they are size 19x10 +38 all around
NOTE (back before i got the car painted i rolled my fenders good enough to clear the wheels of course it also got shave to get rid of the dimples from the roll)

now i plan to order some wheels in 20x11 +25 offset for the rear and 20x9 +20 offset

anyways i was wondering if i was going to have any problems and if not what tire size should i go with

as soon as i can find out my tire size i am currently i will post

like i said just remember i rolled my fenders front and rear to clear 19x10 +38

I'm running a similar setup with 225/35 and 255/30. the front is a mild stretch and the rear is a medium stretch

I'm running the same rear size but i decided to go with a 295/25/20. I also had about a 1 inch pull.

You will definitely need a pull on the rear and only roll in the front

I would go with a 9.5-10" front to stretch that 225/35 to help when you turn. IMO
