I agree with Grabberorange that the 275 in back is just not wide enough.....get the 295 in back and your set.....as for the front a 275/35/20 will still have a nice sidewall height as if you recall the "series" tire is a percentage of the first number. The bigger the first number the taller the sidewall in correlation to that first number. hope this helps

My intent was to show the tires mounted in the sizes he was considering, as well as showing how the 275 looked too narrow. I can't do anything about my car being lowered.
OP, good luck on your tire choices.

well I finally pulled the trigger! a buddy got me a good deal on a set of nitto invos. I'm going with 295/35/20 in the back and 275/35/20 in the front. i've got someone throwing them on my new rims for free but I have to wait until next monday but I will post pics as soon as they're done.
