Quick tire fitment question.

I know this has been covered a lot but I had a question on tire fitment. I just ordered a set of Ferrara FR8 wheels for my Jag. 20x9 35 and 20x11.5 30. I’ll be running Mich 4s tires. The sales rep said To go with a 305 30 in the rear. I noticed that the cars with the same set up are running 305 25 in the rear. Just wondering if this will be a problem. The car is dropped on H&R springs.

Please clarify: Are the numbers behind the wheels sizes the wheel offset or the tire profile?
If offset, you will likely have exterior tire rub in front under full compression in a tight turn.
I know of no one running 25 tire profiles on 20” wheels in back. You will want to use a 305/30-20 tire. With the 30 offset you listed above (assuming that’s the offset) you’ll have no issue with rub.

I’m looking forward to getting these wheels on the car. I’m concerned I may have to change the springs. I live in the northeast and the drop may unsuitable for the roads out here. But I’m gonna give it a go since I already purchased them last year.

The thrird and fourth cars have 11.5 inch rears with ferrada wheels. This is where I got my specs from.

An 11.0” wheel is the right width to optimize the contact patch on a 305 wheel, but an 11.5” will still be within the range of wheel widths recommended by the tire manufacturer. Pirelli and Toyo offer a 315 tire - the width best suited for an 11.5” wheel.
