Ok how? What size wheels did you get? If you are still on 20"s there will be a little more fender gap, unless you are squeezing a slightly wider tire on it in which case the profile may be similar. The 35 ratio tires will likely ride a bit stiffer and I would really avoid potholes!

LOL, I live in the land of pot holes (southeast PA) and remember when buying a Porsche the dealer wanted me to sign a waiver because of low profile tires. I opted for the standard profile but forget what that was.

You're replacing a 29" tire with a 27" tire.
Your wheel gap will look worse and your speedometer will be off by 7%. (Indicated 60 mph will actually be 55 mph).
Is it too late to change to 255/45/20?
