Default nitto invo sizing help 06 gs300

I'm looking for the correct size. My wheels size are as follow
Front 20x9.5 I'm thinking 245/35/20
Rear 20x10.5 I'm thinking between 285/35/20 or 295/25/20

The car currently has 245/35 front and 285/35/ rear. The car is not lowered at the pressent time, but I will lower the car with coilovers sometimes next month. as of righ now if I ride with 4 people in the car counting myslef, the car rubs in the back just a little if it takes a sudden drop on the road. I'm thinking to roll the fenders in, once I intalled the coilover. One more thinkg the rear wheels is showing up the lip of the tires a little bit and that's something I would like not to see with the new tires. current tires are falkens 452's. Any help will be HIGLY appreciated.

Wassup Armandito...I went 235/35/20 front 275/30/20 rear

To avoid any rubbing in the rear I removed the plastic trim and shaved the inside about half an inch. Since my car is black I can get away with removing the plastic piece...might not look so nice with other colors...since the trim is still on the front. You can have the piece trimmed as well. In the front I did not drop all the way down I put 235/35 to close the gap as much as possible.

Well, guys, I did some little homework with a some local shop /friend and end up using 255/30/20 front and 295/25/20 rear and the result are spectacular. I'm really happy the way the Nitto Invos look and there is no more showing up the lip as a matter of fact the car runs very smooth and these tires are really really Great in every sence. how can I post pictures?

Did they have to do any modifications with a rear tire that size? My local wheel shop was reluctant to sell me a tire that large because they said it would rub

Also with a side wall that skinny did you notice any ride quality changes?

All I can tell you is that the ride is way beter now, the car feel like stock, way sfoter than those 285-30 I had before, plus there is no more lip shown, if you guys tell me how to post pictures I will show you what I mean. I'm extremely happy with the invo, this is going to be my favorite tires for year to come. I wish I can express how impress I'm with this new set up. for me the plus is in how nice this tire fit in the lip of my 10 1/2" wide rear wheel. I'm once again extremely happy.

Teemunz, how you like the ride of your teins compare to the stock suspension? How wide are your wheels?Can you send me pictures of your stereo system? I'm thinkig to do something too. are you using the factory radio? I would like to keep the interior as stock as possible. Let me know, thank you.

295/25 rear and 255/30 is what I would like to run , but I thought it was going to rub. I am lowered so I am playing it conservative with my 275/30
