09 Vantage V8, lowered - tire fitment question with 20" wheels...

When using 20" wheels on a Vantage, is it possible to fit 265/30-20 up front? I saw an article about a limited run GT12 that used this front tire size but could not confirm wheel width or if the car was further modified for fitment since it sits at race-car height

Or should I stick with a more common tire size that is not so diff from oem fitment spec at 245/35-20?

I'm hoping to run PSS tires. Was looking at 255/30-20 but that is a much more rare size to keep inventory it seems.

These are going on 20x9F wheels

Thanks!

only problem is pss is backordered in 255 and only Pirelli is the other brand to really carry that size atm.

I'm also worried about stretching the sidewall going to 245 on a 20x9, but it seems to be considered ok and just a minor stretch. Just not sure if I went with 265 if I'd encounter rubbing. 245 seems to be the safe route.
