Default tire size on sss wheels

i have about a 3/5 drop on my 02 ecsb with sss wheels. i have been running 275/45/20s all the way around but i think i want something a little wider on the back. i know i'll need to roll my rear fender lips but what size should i go with? i want the front and rear tires to be the same overall diameter so i was thinking something like a 305/45/20, i dont think a 315/45 will fit....or should i keep 275/45s all the way around?

my 295/50's bulge a little more than I'd like, I wouldn't go wider than 295 IMO

how far do your 295/50s buldge? my 275/45s are almost flat with the wheels

Not the best pic, but you can tell they are bulged if you look closely. It's pretty noticeable, I get people every once in a while that ask if my tire pressure is low.

do you think the ss wheels with a 295/40/20 will fit without rolling the fenders with a 2/4 drop on a rcsb
