I guess maybe funky isn't the right word, maybe just not use to 20" and would like a more meaty look on back. Just replaced the 2 old tires that were on car so i will be running it like this for awhile.

From looking at those images, it sure doesn't look like those rear's are 275/35/20" as they appear smaller IMO.. Are you certain that you didn't mis post the actual size

I agree. A 275mm wide tire with an aspect ratio of 35 would give a sidewall height of 96.25 mm, which is 3.79 inches.

I think its just the pic and also the tire being narrow for rim width, if i had the dough i would of put a 285 or 295 on it.

What's the diameter height and width.. 20X8.5", 20X9" or 20X9.5" ? The recommended wheel sizes for 275/35/20" tires are 20X9.5 - 20X10.5" If your wheel dimensions are less than 20X9.5" 275/35/20's will be just a bit too wide for the wheel and can therefore give the appearance of being narrow..

At any rate, I'd recommend checking your wheels height and width dimensions before upgrading to larger sized tires

20X8.5 in front 20X9.5 in back. I think i just need to drop it a little in the back after looking at all the pics on the site.

Well you definitely have the right wheel dimensions, therefore I agree that lowering the rear is your best option without a doubt..
