Wheel size question

I currently have 20x8.5 fronts and 20x10 rear but found a really good deal on tsw's with new tires for about 1200. The problem is they are 20x8.5 all around with a 265/35/20 tire. Will there be much if a difference performance wise going to this smaller tire as I'm used to having a 275 front and 295 rear tire?

smaller tire contact patch = less grip in the turns.

This is a deal that was going on a while ago from a sponsor:

The price of $ 1290.00 is for 4 wheels. Details below.

(2) 20x9.0 TSW Nurburgring or Interlagos
(2) 20x10.0 TSW Nurburgring or Interlagos
(1) set of lug nuts and locks
$ 1290.00 shipped


I would never go down in size, I see it as a safety issue.
