Default What size tire for staggered 20's?

Hello, I just bought a set of 20's for my '08 mustang gt and they are 20x8.5 up front and 20.10 in the back. I was wondering what size tire everybody was putting on their's. I dont know whether I should go 245 or 255 up front and 275 or 285 (no wider) in the back. I haven't done anything to the suspension and prob wont for a while, if i do it will only be a 1.5 inch drop. Thank you and pics would be great so I could get a feel which tires would look right for me, thank you

if you use the search bar, it would do you wonders.......

But anyways,

245 up front would be perfect for you 8.5 rims up front. Since you wont be lowering for any time soon, go with a 40 sidewall to help fill up your gap in the wheel well so you dont get a 4x4 look. For the rear, you can easily do 285/40/20, but i suggest 295/40/20. Sorry i dont have pics but if no one else post any, the search bar once again will help you because there are tons of threads like this one.

255/35's up front & 295/30's out back...I was kind of on the fence at first about the size of the rear tires, but now after having them for the last 3 weeks, the 295/30's are perfect...so if you're having to decide between 275's & 285's...go 285's...
