Nice! exactly my point and how I wanna do my car this summer! thanks for the advice! So I guess 235/35 will be my tire setup

and to be clear; 245/35 I will probably rub? btw I am going to be shaving my rear fenders..

If u r trying to ride low 245 35 will rub if u ride slammed, 235s give u a better stretch and clears everything on my rear!

I know most everyone has chimed in here, but just to give you one more opinion, I just replaced all my tires with 235/35/20's and haven't had any issues. However, I'm riding stock right now, looking to do coilovers at some point. I changed my tires cause I hit a pothole the other day and blew two tires, I had 225's on before this happen, I was worried about going to 235's but the shop I went too said it would be no problem - they were right.

Im planning soon to do 20x10 +30 front and 20x10 +20 in the rears. You think I should go 245/35 or 245/30?

None..

But then again my rear fenders are completely shaved. I also have Megan Racing Rear Camber Arms x2 and Megan Racing Rear Toe Arm too, running -3 camber in the front and -4 camber in the rear.

I would definitely run 235/35/20 all around for your setup.

My secondary set of wheels are coming soon, I'm going to do 235/40/18 on 18x9.5 +22 and 265/35/18 on 18x10.5 +22.

Are your fenders shaved or modified? That'll help. Also, are you lowered, if so, on what?

I have a 255/30 on a 10" wheel +30 offset and it used to rub on the rear bumper tab. Now that i've shaved that it's been okay. It's still a really tight fit. Don't think a 255/35 will work IMO.
