Ordered wrong tire size!Need advise.
Ok, man I'm soooo pissed at myself. It goes to show that when you think you got everything done right, something can and always goes wrong. So I ordered some Sevas s22 for my IS350, the wheels look great and yes I had to use a 5mm spacer to clear the front brakes with no problem, (so far). Anyways, I decide to order some Kuhmos SPT size: 245/35/20 fronts and 275/30/20 rears and used Tenabe springs (not the GS ones). Well I get my car back from the shop and on the way home I'm fealing that the front tires rub like crazy. I bought the wrong profiles! I should have gotten 245/30/20 instead of the 245/35/20. Well I can't return the tires back to the Tirerack caused I drove home on them and it turns out that Kuhmo does not make any 30 profile tires in 245 or smaller that are 20inch, they only make a 30 profile for the rear 275. What can I do? Should I shell out the money to get a whole new set of different brand tires maybe Falkens 452 or, should I just buy a set of different brand tires for the front only and keeep the other Kuhmos in the back? Would that make that much of a diffenrece? Please help.

I wouldn't mix tires. I would run the 235/30 and 255/30 20 available in either Continental or Pirelli. Or 245/30 and 265/30 in the BFG TA KDW2 if you want to go a little more aggressive, or just run the 225/35 Kumho's in the front and deal with the slight rub in the rear (roll the fenders maybe).
