I am running Nitto NT555 extreme ZR 245/35/zr20's and they run about $1000 for a set of 4 mounted and balanced.

I'm running on Toyo Proxes TS-1 245-35-20 also. I heard many good things about Falken and Nitto.

20x8.5 should run 245-35 tire.

I never used to rub with my Eibachs with 35 offset. So it really depends.

im running 245-35-20 up front. with eibachs, you shouldn't rub as onehotsc400 said.

but since we're running with TEINS, I do rub a little bit at a full right turn.

Not running Falkens on 20s, but I have them on my 16's and they are awesome tires for the price...I got a student discount too (15% I think) with my Univ ID

It takes a good dip in the road while turning for my tire to rub. Normal driving, they never scrub.

I have to agree that the falken azenis st115 is an excellent tire and also very well priced.. But, back to your original question..I wouldn't run anything wider than 245 in the front, unless you want to scrub..
