What tire size are you considering? It would be a lot easier to provide an answer if you expressed it as a tire size rather than the overall height of the tire.

would like to run a 305/35r20 on the rear, but it is 28.56" in diameter.

28" is the maximum that will fit without constant rubbing. I would try to go a little smaller if you can.

I had some PS2 335/25/20's and they were tight and I have fender flares.
