Default Decided on my wheels, now for tires

Front: 20x8.5 +35
Rear: 20x9.5 +40

Falken FK452

Option 1: 245/30 , 275/30

Option 2: 245/35 , 275/30

Question 1; Anyone know if I can run option 2 without a lot of rubbing? Rubbing during a full-lock turn is fine for me.

Question 2: Would 245/30 and 275/30 give it the raked look? I would really like to go with option 2, but if it's gonna rub, I'll just get option 1 and get springs/coilovers later down the road.

(Mods if you could also keep this in the 3GS forum, because I would like to hear from other 3GS owners, that'd be great!)

Thanks

Option 1, can't go wrong with that. I'm running a 20x8.5 in front with a 245/30 and no rubbing. with the 245/35 I know for sure I'll rub somewhere... plus the rake look is a no go for me.

What do you mean by the rake look?
sorry noob question.

How is the ride quality with the 245/30 vs. the 245/35?

thanks

"To have a suspension setup that makes the rear of the car sit higher than the front by a decent margin."

Urbandictionary.com ftw! Pkieu I'm probably going with 245/35 in the front and 275/30. I know it's out of spec but I see a lot of people here running it and I rather have rubbing here and there than a harsh ride or bent rim =/
