Need Help With Tire Sizing

I'm bout to purchase a set of staggered 20x8.5 (F) and 20x9.5 (R) wheels for my Diamante, needed help with the tire sizes for the front and back. I was looking for that nice stretched look on the tires, what do you think about these:

Front (20 x 8.5) = 215/35/20 or 225/30/20

Rear (20 x 9.5) = 235/30/20


I would prefer the 215 width upfront but no one makes it, how do you guys think the 225/30 will look on the front compared to the 215/35... will I still have that stretched look?

My sig might help.

It doesn't have any Diamante's, but you can just browse tires to see what you want the stretch to look like.

yes your right no more 215/35/20

as far as the 8.5, the 225/30/20 is gonna be the best you can stretch (decent stretch) go over to a 225/35/30 and you lose the stretch look of the 30.
