you should lower the car, it will look better that way
255/35/20 is fine you will not have any problems rubbing unless the offset is incorrect. try using the search link, there are lots of post on this question already.

i am running 255/35/20 on the tannabe df210 springs for the gs 400 and i do not rub even with the car full of people. so i know you will be ok.
but like i said, if the offset is correct you will be ok.
