Don't know if it'll rub or not but that is not the correct tire size for 20" wheels. If you run those tire sizes, your speedometer will be off becuase the overall diameter will be bigger. For a 20" staggered setup, you will want to run 245/30/20 and 275/25/20 to ensure that your speedometer will not be off.

I have a 285/30/20 on a 20" 10.5 inch wheel and get a little rubbing. Nothing major. My car is lowered about an inch and a 1/2. Depending on how much you want to lower your car, You can go with either a 25 or 30 series tires.

the 35 & 30 series are enough tire to give you a smooth ride...
That was my main concern...I have 2 boys (10yrs old & 10months old) with a full car, I have had no problems with the ride quality....also, you don't need to lower your car since you have the sport...unless you want the 'slammed look' then maybe 1.2" drop all 'round will do the trick...you gotta show some pix when you got it all dialed in....

Here is a screenshot of the data for your particular application. Notice when your speedo says 60mph, your actually traveling 62.5. Or a 4.2% error. Obviously, as speed increases so will the delta.

Go with 285 30 20 in the rear. I have it set up that way on a 20x10 in the rear. I have not dropped the car yet though.
