Tires for 20s

For those who have 20" wheels, what size and brand of tire are you running. I am having a hard time getting one that is the same as my stock. My stock diameter is 641.5 mm or 25.66 inches. 225 35 20 are 26.2 inches which is close enough but only one tire manufaturer that I can find makes them. Nito 555.
A more popular size is 245 35 20 which has a diameter of 26.8 inches. That is more htan 1 inch larger than my diameter. That is like 5% or so larger. Is this too big. I think 2% is better. Are there any other choices out there
thanks

245/35 would be the best tire you can put on it. It will provide enough rubber between your wheel and the pavement. Im running 245/35 19's , with no problems at all....

Wait, you're dropped with Progress springs and you still have enough clearance?

Ok I have just bought H&R springs. Is that ok with that 20" setup?
Also when people talk about rub is it from fender or inside somewhere? At full lock do you guys get any rub?
