Not sure about the wheels but the I think the tires are completely wrong.
I think the sizes should be
245/30-20 - front
285/25-20 - rear

You should try to keep the tire diameter as close to OEM as possible. They are right, but I gotta say, i hate doing that type of thing just for BLING. Why not do other things to make people stare at you than to ruin the ride quality and performance?

You may be able to run those tire sizes without rubbing, but they are still too tall (i.e. your overall diamater is bigger than stock. therefore, your speedometer is off).
