20 inch sizing help

I've spent more time searching then I'm proud to say ha ha - I've become obsessive at this point...

I've got my eye on a set of Vorsteiner VF111 20x8.5 & 20x9.5 and need to figure out the best tire option. I'm lowered on HR springs already and considering tire sizes for the Falken FK510. I want to avoid stretch, avoid rubbing, have nice aesthetic (meaty tire) and needs to maintain my xdrive balance.

What can I fit? As I understand the Falken can run a bit narrow?

My ideal would be 235/35 + 275/30
I've been recommended 225/35 + 255/30

Thoughts? Anyone have pictures to help?

Any issue on rubbing with my setup you think?

Falken look to be excellent value. I'd prefer the DWS06 but they don't make them in that size.

No rubbing if your et is on point. I would go hankook över falken if its value youre after. PS4S will be good value in the long run as they get good milage.

It will look great im sure. Why didn't you with 345 on front. A few on the forum are running 245/275 combo with no issues.

I'm running an xdrive setup and nervous about 235/275 as it is since I'm lowered.

Last minute change of plans... I ended up getting the Michelin tires and happy I did, they are amazing even after my very short drive. Much more compliant and super sticky by comparison to the run flats.

Tire sizes: 235/35 and 265/30. No rubbing and they look solid.

How does it ride on HR springs and did you need new bumpstops?
