will a 245/35/20 all around be ok for an ls?

If I remember right, the stock 20 inch tire size on the fron is 245-45-20 and the backs are 275-40-20. With that being said, Im sure a 245-35-20 will fit

I wouldn't go any smaller than a 255/35/20 and you will need to do at least a 1 1/2" drop too make it look decent.

If you want to know what the correct tire size is, you should look at the overall diameter of the tire which can vary slightly (.1-.2 inch) for the same size tire from manufacturer to manufacturer.

I believe all Camaro trims have an overall tire diameter of 28.6 inches. If you search on Tire Rack, you will be able to see the overall tire diameter for the particular tire you are looking at (look at the spec sheets for all sizes of a given tire brand/model). Smaller tires will simulate more aggressive gear ratios; but, you'll only see and feel gains when you get into tires that are 2-3 inches smaller than the stock diameter. The farther your overall diameter is from stock, the farther your speedometer and odometer will deviate. You would need a tune to fix it.

If you search the Wheel and Tire forum, you should find a lot of helpful information about wheel and tires sizing, offsets and diameters.
