Default need help with wheel/tire size

1999 gs400.....Just picked up my 20X8.5 wheels with +42 offset. Eibach pro springs will be in on monday, installed on tuesday. What tires should i run?????? I am thinking of 235/45/20 but after reading and reading and searching and searching i cannot figure out if they are going to rub, or need fender mods. I would really prefer not to roll the fenders.

????????ANY SUGGESTIONS??????

by the way lightning motorsports has their eibach pro kit on sale for 199 shipped, throw in prothane front and rear bushings and get out the door for just under 220.

thanks in advance.

OEM diameter: 245/30/20
1" over OEM (Many here run this size): 245/35/20

245/45 is way too tall.

You should not rub with your specs.
