Which size 20's are correct??

Hey guys..

I've asked this question before but I'm still tying to get a definite answer..

I have non staggered 20's on my car that are 255 35 20 Per Tire Rack...

Some sited I see show the 245 30 20 as the more "correct" choice for this set-up..

Due to the fact that these cars seem to wear out rears fast no matter if they are staggered or not,
I'm thinking about going staggered, and I know the correct rear is 275 30 20 but between sites I get different front sizes..

So.. I want to get a feel of what you guys who have 20's are running size wise.....

Thanks...

Rear 275/30/20 w/10 or 9.5 wheel & Front 245/35/20 w/ 9 or 8.5 wheel. this is the correct setup.

Thanks benznodubz.. This is what I thought....

It's funny though, when you order from tire rack you get 255 35 20's
And I wondered why that waas but I never got a good reason why...
hence the slight confusion..
But then I noticed that all of their + tire sidewall sizes are larger for the E, C, S, and CLK cars.. I don't know why.

245/35/20 front and 275/30/20 rear is right. It sounds wierd but its true. It's what I have.

With a F-8.5 245/35/20
R-10 275/30/20 setup

Whats the best offset I should run to be flush with the fenders, of course without using any spacers?

Thanks
