Which tire size should I go with?

sup everyone.. I ordered a set of fusion flex 20 x 8.5's wit +40 offset .. now I'm not sure which tire size to go with. I have a 2007 camry se 4cyl. some ppl told me I can go with 225-35-20 tires & should be fine.. some said it won't fit on a 20x8.5 rim . one shop told me 245-35-20 .. I'm not sure which size to go with.. I dont want it to rub that's my main concern.. I'm also not gonna drop it or anything . any help out there greatly appericiated. thanks TN

I put 20's x8.5 on my CE 5-spd. I got 225/35/20 Toyo proxi 4. They fit fine, but you will wanna lower it as i now have about a 3 inch gap from tire to fender. I love how it looks with 20's and the car is so big that you wont believe they are 20's unless i drop it.

if you're not gonna drop it, optimal size for 20x8.5 is 245/35/20.

I can't dro it after I get the rims cuz of myy stupid driveway.. long stop made short.. even rite now if I don't pull out a certain angel it'll scrape.. I don't even wanna imagine how it'll get if I drop it.. lol.. I know it looks so much better with drop & I want to do it..but I just can't rite now.. itss scrape way too much..

hahah.. I don't mind.. but when I wanna wash it.. that's the real problem... I don't run it thru the car wash.. ALWAYS hand wash it in the drive way... that's the only reason peach... no self wash carwash's ... at home.. hand washed & dried....

even if you get the rims, it wont make a diff on your driveway since 245/35/20 would be close to the stock overall diameter of 215/55/17 on the SE. your car's ground clearance would essentially be the same, maybe a bit higher by a few, negligible millimeters so you dont have anything to worry about.

the only time you'd need to worry about a full wheel turn is when you either have:
1. super wide front wheels like a 10incher (which would be quite ridiculous)
2. a bigger overall diameter of the wheel, something like if say you went with 20s and then you got tires like 255/40/20 or other donk/suv sizes
