Default Just got rims...

Hey guys need some help. I just got raceline rims for my car. I ordered 20 x 10's for the rear and 20 x 8.5's for the front. I am a little confused with tire choice. Im looking at the bf goods KDW's. 285/30 for the rear and 255/35 for the front. I was wondering if that is a good choice? What do the Saleens run on there rims? Any suggestions would help.

I wanted KD's but they dont make them for 20's so i wanted to go with the KDWs, did i pick a good size, should i got smaller, like a 275 or will a 295/45 fit? Some one told me to go with a 295 but i cant find a small sidewall

I have 20" on mine and I went with Nitto 255/35/ZR20 all the way round and are quite happy with them, but then I don't have to worry about snow.

Ya i plan on taking them off for the winter. I would love to go with a 35 sidewall in the rear but i cant find a width that will work. The ideal tire for me would be a 285 35 but im sh*t out of luck. I could go with a 275 35 but i heard i might have a negitive bead on the tire. Is this true?
