245/30 and 275/30? The load rating for a 245/30/20 (90) tire is not recommended for the vehicle. I believe our doors incdicates 93H? How's the ride quality with 245/30/20?
Your tire sizes seem to be off by .9" front to back. Even though you have a 2WD I would think the VSC would get confused with the wheel speed calculation (rpm)?

Why didn't you go with 285/25 or 295/25 in the rears? 285/25 shouldn't rub in the back and your tire sizes would all be stock diameter.

Just looked it up again and the over all diameter of the stock wheel is 26.68 inches.
245/35 = 26.75"
275/30 = 26.49"
285/25 = 25.61"
295/25 = 25.80"
Sooo... that would mean that the 245/35 is closest, followed by the 275/30. But then again for the front I am running 245/30 so that means I am running a smaller diameter overall but its not a problem to me. I don't mind losing the extra "comfort" with the 245/30 tire. As long as you stay within the 3% bracket of the stock tire, you should be fine.
Gotta pay to play.

245/30 is the closest tire size to stock you can put on the car. @85/25 is the closest to that but its a hair smaller in diameter than stock. That to me look weird, even if its by a hair. I can still notice. You can try 235/35 with a 275/30 Thats pretty close match, but good luck trying to find tires in that size. Kind of a random size in the 20". They do make them commonly in the 19" for the 235/35
