Default rear tire size help

I am going with 20 x 10 in the rears and was told to either go with 275/30/20 or 275/35/30. Which one do you guys recommend?

It's covered in this thread - it also has to do with your suspension and offset settings.

I have 20's and it depends on what look you're going for. I have a 255/30/20 on mine. I'd say the 275/30/20.

I dont want it too aggressive as it will be my daily driver. It will also be lowered about 1.25 in the rears. If it helps the fronts will be 20 x 8.5 on 245/35/20. I dont know the offset but it will be flush to the fenders.

245's up front are too wide. You'll need 225-235

I can only tell you what I have on my car and like I said 20x9 and 20x10.5 with 225/30/20 and 255/30/20. You'll rub all over the place if you want to go low.
