Default 2010 GS350 Tire Size for staggered AWD 20's

i've searched on here a lot and found a few different setups from 3 years ago so im wondering what tire sizes most people are running now. i don't want to do any fender work and would rather not rub. i plan on lowering the car and am also wondering what coilovers have other owners had the best luck with. i only plan on lowering the car 1-1.5 inches from stock height.

wheels are 20x8.5 +40 and 20x10 +40 car is an AWD
most people say go with the 245/35/20 but it will rub in the front. and 275/30/20 in the rear.

just want your opinions or knowledge with setups you guys are running. i know its been hammered but can't seem to find the information im looking for. Appreciate the help in advance.

I used 235/35-20 and 275/30-20 when i ran TSWs in those rim specs on my AWD. I was lowered 2" and rarely rubbed in the rear without fender mods.

thanks for the info, i have TSW Tremblant's and was more worried about rubbing in the front turning than the back so i appreciate the info. I'm sure with 3 or 4 passengers it'll rub in the back over bumps and rough roads. What suspension modifications did ya make, springs or CO's or?

I didn't have any issues with the set up. Rim width and high offsets made a difference for me. Again, I ran 20X8.5 +40 TSW Jarama on a 235/35-20 Nankang NS2 tire (no pics)

OP...my suggestion for that set up is 225/35-20 and 265/30-20 (pic attached).
