Default ideal suspension?

I recently put some 20's on my gs430, now i can feel the bumps in the road especially at the rear.... What set up will give me a soft ride, with a drop and without having to shave my fender?
Could my tire in the rear 285/25/r20 have anything to do with the rough ride?

how wide are your wheels ? are they staggered or the same width all the way around ? the 25's are probably way too thin you may be able to run a
255 30 20 or a 265 30 20, 245 30 20 will get you as close to stock specs as possible but if you dont mind going a little beefy on the tires then you have more options 235/35/20 on an 8.5in width

If this is the case you're riding on shoe string tires!!

IMO, 245/35-20 front with 285/30-20 rear. You'll move from 2.80 in to 3.36 in sidewall height which should smooth things out. you could also go with a raked/comfy set up using 235/35R20 front with 255/35R20 rear.
