About to pull the trigger on this, need advice...

What do you guys think about this setup?

E90 w/ H&R Sport & Falken FK452
-20x8.5 +42 (Will use 10mm spacer) 235/30/20
-20x9.5 +37 245/35/20

Will I really suffer on ride quality?
On my old car I ran the 245/35 in the front, I was thinking of moving them to the back to save some money.
Also, is the 245/35/20 equivalent or close to a 255/30/20?
Please give me tips and all the info I need to make this work.
Thanks

Those tire sizes aren't "equivalent"...A 245 tire could likely fit on a 9.5" wide rim, it'll be a little stretched...can't really comment on ride quality
