Default 2nd Gen GS400 - 20" Wheels - non-rubbing tires?

I purchased some new 20" wheels. Can someone reccommend a tire that will not cause rubbing issues.

Wheel specs below.

20" x 8" all the way around
+38 Offset

It looks like 245/35 R20 may work from the threat in the link below. I know it will depend on the tire, but does anyone know if this size tire would cause rubbing issues?

Would 235/35 R20 be a better bet. Im trying to maximize the rubber without rubbing.

Appreciate any response

You won't rub on a 245/35 unless you lower a bunch. I am lowered coilovers. When I had 20's I ran 225/35 on a 9 and 245/35 on a 10.5. My fitment was much more aggressive than you and I never had problems.

Thanks for the quick response, Tiger.

Suspension is stock, no plans on lowering. Putting in the purchase now ill upload a pic once they're on.

Hoping they look better than the 19s I'm running now.

235/35 19x8.5 +38 front
265/30 19x10 +43 back

IMO any wheels bigger than the stocks are not gonna look good if you don't lower the car at all.
Especially 20's. It's gonna look donkish. :/

Waiting for the pic and for you to prove me wrong.
