That is very aggressive you will have to camber the car in.

You're fine with a fender roll in the rear and stretched tires and not a major stretch. 255/35/20 should work fine or even a 265/30/20. My stock wheels with 25MM spacers on the front and rear pushing the wheel to +15 all around on BC coilovers does not rub at all except on full lock and that's if I do a fast full lock. Regular full u-turn and I am fine. Aligned with natural camber already and zero toe and I don't rub. I'm also on the stiffest dampening setting and my spring rate is 12K front and rear.

Keep in mind that wheels are 1/3 of the entire setup when it comes to fitment. You also have to consider tire brand and size as some are true to size, while some tires run narrow and others are fat. Last, you have to dial in your alignment. If you can get all three within a good range, you won't have problems.

New wheels I ordered are 20x10 ET18 and 20x11 Et22. That's gonna take a little bit of work to get it to fit, but I've seen it done and it can be achieved. The 4GS is a mid to high offset car, but any offset in the 30's-40's and your wheel well will swallow the wheels and make them look sunk in.

I think those are perfect offsets if you're going with air suspension. If you're going static, then you'll have to drive slammed to make these work and look good.
