Tires??
Just bought some new wheels. 20x9 with +30mm offset and 20x11 with +43mm offset. My question is should I run a 275/35zr20 or a 285/35zr20 in the front and a 305/30zr20 or 315/30zr20 in the rear? I don’t want to rub or have to worry about anything.

The 275/35/20 is 0.4" taller than the 315. I'd do either one of these options:
#1 gives you a little shorter front tire than the rear, whereas with #2 they are the same diameter. The problem with #2 is that there are very few tire choices in the 315/30/20 size.

I think I’m better off to go with option #1..if I go with #2, will there be enough clearance so I won’t rub or anything?

With a 9” wide wheel, maybe 265/35/20 would be a better option. it would be much closer to stock diameter than a 275/30/20 tire would be.

Stock 1LE tires are:
The 285s are too wide for proper fitment on your 9" front wheels. If you stick with the 305/30/20 rears for your new wheels, then the diameters of the front options are:
Both of these sizes are approved for 9" rim width. Both will work fine on the car. It really comes down to whether you want a staggered look or a same-diameter look for your car. I don't see a wrong choice between the two front-tire options.

Okay, then that makes the decision for you. If you want staggered diameters then option #1 is the only one that gives you that.

275 is a lot of width for a 9" wheel. It may hold the bead, but it will likely look pinched and be more floaty to drive.

So I’m definitely staying with a 305/30 for the rear but would it be more beneficial for a 265/35 or 30 on the front? Otherwise I’m going to go with the 275/30

The 275/30 has a rim width range of 9-10”, so it’s within intended fitment in your situation. If you want stagger, that’s the size to go with.

if you put a 275/30 tire up front the wheel gap will be massive. If you plan on lowering your car, it won’t be a problem. just something to keep in mind.
