SC430 wheel fitment

Hey guys,
I've picked up some wheels which will be going on my '02 next spring. I've done my research and calculations on sizes, but there's one variable I'd like to double check with the pro's, tire size/brand. I don't have much experience with different brands of tires, so I'm hoping someone that does can help me choose the proper one, saving me have to try multiple tires, or modify my fenders.
FRONT 20x9.5+25
REAR 20x10.5+25
I'm not too concerned about the front, I think I should be able to get away with a 235/35/20 of any brand, maybe even a 245/35. It's the rear that's cutting it close. Can anyone say that a certain tire in 265/30/20 will work for sure on the rear? Perhaps I'll have to go with a 255/30?
I see that aquanuke is running a 275/30 on a 10.5+27, but he rubs. I'd like to avoid rubbing if at all possible, and I'd like to not have to remove the inner fender strip.
I should add that the car has coilovers, and will be low enough to tuck a little tire most likely.
Any help would be appreciated

If you are sure that 235 will work in front, my guess is 265 should work in rear.
I have seen your ride height and believe the negative camber might get you some clearance.
For your setup, every mm counts.
I hope this sc would give you some inspiration into fender mods.

Wow, thank you so much for sharing all those pics! And sorry for the late reply.
So seems like that car with the ISF wheels have a bunch of tasteful mods! I like his preference, all OEM parts!!
It is interesting too, so LS460's calipers. And I am guessing the new rotor's size are the same as OEM LS460. But then the rotor's bolt patten is 5x114.3 instead of the OEM 5x120 of the LS460. So the rotor must be custom made specifically for this conversion! Very nice!

It does have quite a few mods not posted here.
That owner also has installed many electronic mods like remote top/quarter windows modules that are developed by one of his sc430 buddies.
In fact, he had installed too many electronic mods to a degree that his sc couldn't take it anymore.
He had to call Lexus to pick his sc up for service. lol

The whole LS460 brake conversion kit is priced at around $4k, so I doubt anyone would buy the is-f bbk conversion kit if there is one available.

Yes I have heard that Lexus dealer in Japan can pick up customer's car for service, bring it up with a flatbed, now that is service!!
