Default anyone using a 255/30/20 tire with drop?

I am getting the picture that I will need a 30 profile tire for the front and back, I was just wondering if anyone has useda 255/30 up front. They use them on all of the show room cars at the dealership. obviosly they arent setting it up for a drop. any help would be great

Just For Info I'm Running 245/30/20 And 285/25/20 Rear... I Also Have A Pretty Aggressive Drop On Coilovers.... Just My $.02 .. But I Will Promise You Will Definitely Have Rubbing Issues With Anything Other Than 245/30.... Just A Heads Up...

Smile thanks alot for the info

I really appreciate the info man seriously. This has been racking my brain. I guess I will run a 245/30 and a 275/30. 285/25 damn that sounds like a rubberband on the rim. have you dented anything. I ordered forged wheels to go with less wieght and better strength. I am assuming thats why they cost so much. You can dent any wheel but I hope they hold up better than the cast wheels I ve had before

No Rubbing Of Any Kind So Far And I'm Dropped Pretty Aggressively... Everyone Told Me That I Would Not Like The 285/25 But To Be Very Honest The Car Doesn't Ride Any Different Than Stock... Sure You Feel The Road More But As Far As Quality Nothing To Complain About...but I Also Should Mention I Have Jic Vip Coilovers And They Do A Hell Of A Job As Far As The Ride Quality... Hope That Helps Some ... Good Luck And Make Sure To Post Some Pics When Done....
