Need Advice- 245/35/20s are rubbing on GS430 Front

Just purchased new set of wheels for my 06 GS430....Noticed some rubbing while turning, sounds like its rubbing on the fender liner.
Front wheels are 20*9 with 28 offset (245/35/20)
Rear wheels are 20*10 with 30 offset (275/30/20)

If i switch out fronts to 255/30/20...Will the rubbing stop or should i go for 245/30 instead?

245/30/20 is what most guys do! A 9 inch front wide rim is really pushing it aswell.

Reason i am leaning more towards 255/30 is to get bit thicker sidewall for more protection from potholes here.

I'm on 19s but I do rub coming on to a driveway. Full lock on turns clears and doesn't rub. Offset is +22 on a 9.5 wide rims, 235/35 stretches nicely on it as well and inner fender is shaved as well. Shave it and be done with it, lol.
