Anyone running 20" wheels on a '67-'69?

I'm going to put 20s on my '69 and am trying to find some who have run 20s all around. I have found one, but they had 245/40/20s up front and they were too big to drive on. I know a 245/30/20 will work, and I've been told a shop near Memphis did one with 245/35/20s up front. My measurements have me a little worried about a 245/35. Is there anyone else out there running 20s all around on a first gen.? I originally planned on running 18s and 20s, but I don't really like that much stagger, front to rear.

Ideally, I would like to run 20x8s & 245/35/20s up front and 20x9.5s & 265/35/20s on the rear. I would like to avoid the 245/30, if I can. That is a VERY low profile, and I'm worried about possible rim damage.

I hope to order the wheels/tires today or tomorrow. Any help will be much appreciated. I know 20s front and rear is a bit extreme, but I am doing this to catch attention. I have a business, and am doing it as much for advertising as I am for pleasure.

Thanks for the info. I've been looking on Pro-Touring.com as well. Can't find anyone running 20s up front. I may end up going with 18s/20s. I would run 18s f/b, but my distributor can't find any 18x9.5s anywhere in the wheel I'm wanting. Thanks again. I'll shoot your buddy an email.
