I'm going to feel rather stupid after this post but I'd like to know the right way of it......

As I mentioned earlier in this post I had previously purchased a set of 245x35x20 Michelin Pilot Sports for a set of 8.5J FE alloys I was trying to buy. Before I bought the tyres I had a look on here and one of the first posts I came across was a couple of guys that had the staggered set up..... i.e./ 8.5J's on the front and 9J's on the rear. The tyres they run were 245x35 on the front and 275x30 on the rear hence why I bought the 245's as I was going to buy 8.5J alloys.

Having read more posts since it seems like Ive got it terribly wrong. 255x35x20 seems to be the right size for 8.5J alloys. Why do some on here run two different sizes on 8.5J rims ? Will my 245's be ok or should I try and sell them and buy the proper 255's ?

Feel really stupid asking this but again need to know the right way of it ........

Thx !
