Default What's the biggest tire I could fit on 20x9's?

Well I have Saleen Repica's 20x9 in the front and 20x10 in the back. The 20x10 are way too big and make my car look really weird so i am gonna sell them and get a pair of 20x9's so it's the same all around. Now my question is what is the biggest I could run on the front AND back without any rubbing or fear of damage to my fender? The ride is excellent and they look amazing IMO so I dont want to loose the 20x9's. My car isn't lowered either, it's a standard 2007 V6 w/ pony package.

As of now the front is:
255/35/20

and the back (which doesn't matter really since Im getting rid of the 20x10s)
295/30/20

So what should I get to make the rid still good and not have to worry about every freaking pothole. IDC about "low profile" anymore either. I just want a safe ride and worry free ride.

It sticks out too much and just doesn't look as well as the front. I need more meat on these things. Avoiding every tiny pothole is driving me nuts.

The 255/35/20 has about the same size lip to tire sidewall height as the 295/30s. Are you gonna up those too?

Well the 295's are on the 20x10 and I'm getting rid of those I beleive. All around I think I have to upgrade all the tires. Make it so I dont have to watch every pothole ya know?

From the look of the pic, you have the wrong offset for the rear wheels.
