It's preferred you go with 235/35/20 if you go 275/30/20 in the rear.

I have coilovers on and purchased wheels and wondering if mines will rub. I have mine dropped close to 2 inch and have a wheel set up of 20x9 front with a 32 offset and 20x10.5 with a 40 offset. Tire rack gave an option of 245/35 for the fronts and 275/30 or 285/30 in the rear. I keep hearing 275 is a safer choice but I am afraid the tire will stretch too much.. I am looking to purchase Continental extreme contact DWS. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Sorry for the late reply. I'm not sure what to suggest as my car isn't lowered. I just got my Vossens put on this morning and they are 20x9 38 offset on 245/35/20 falken tires. I can't clearly tell but I think when I turn the wheel all the way my tires might be rubbing slightly on the front part of the wheel well liner. I will investigate tomorrow and see if it's actually an issue or if it's just in my head, as I couldn't find any damage.

I have 245 on 9j and the stretch is already quite visible. 235 will make that a little worse imho.

I must admit I still have some scraping issues when turning out. So if you don't mind the loss of tireprotection for the wheels nor the little more visible stretch, then go with 235. Show us some pics if you do

Also I have a GS450h, not a 350. Weight is completely different, so my issues may not be yours.

Thanks for the reply, let me know how bad the rubbing is. Is the back also 20X9? What tire size you have on it?

I just checked my car after driving over 100 miles on my new wheels and tires and they don't seem to be rubbing at all. I'm not sure what I was hearing that made me think I was rubbing. I have vossen CV4's in 20x9 all the way around. All four wheels are outfitted with falken 245/35R20 tires. Here are a few pics.

The best thing to do is to see what others have done and check with them to see if they have rubbing issues. Start here:
