What size front tires and wheels?

And if needed, an 18/19 setup allows for a lot of choices in tires.

If you want more sidewall you need a different tire size. 285/30/20 is gonna be the same no matter what tire you get.

You are very vague in your request. What size wheels do have now, and where does that 285/30/20 live?

More sidewall equates to a greater 'aspect ratio' on your tire spec, going up from 30, to 35, or even 40 if on the front, but no more than that. You still have to take into account of what's on the back re: traction control issues, or just looking wierd from odd tire sizes/aspect ratio front and rear.
