Front :
with the use of tire size 245/35/20 , the proposed new wheel will have
4mm MORE clearance on the strut side, and the outside edge of the wheel will EXTEND an extra 16mm.
- You should be okay but towards the border line of possible rubbing the wheel well fender when the suspension goes up & down.

Rear :
with the use of tire size 285/30/20, the proposed new wheel will have
1mm LESS clearance on the strut side, and the outside edge of the wheel will EXTEND an extra 37mm

- The wheel extends outwards by 37mm, thus possible rubbing the fender wheel well when the suspension goes up & down. I can't really say it is a good fit because it's a bit too aggressive and also note by pushing the wheel outwards that much, the weight of the wheel is putting a bit of stress on the suspension components. I could be wrong. Hopefully others can give you a more definite answer.
