Default Wheel Setup on GS 350 AWD

I plan on running 20x8 in the front with 245/35/20 and 20x9 in the rear with 275/30/20? This should work without any issues right? I have been researching for days and found that as long as diameter is about the same I should be ok. Is that so? I believe with this setup I will be .3 off from front to back. Any feedback will be appreciated.

Whats a better size to roll with? I saw someone else running those tire sizes and said it fit without a problem. Any insight?

since they have over-spec tires, you will have some rubbing issues when you turn your wheels. it won't be too bad, unless you want to drop your car with a significant amount (2+"). i used to run the same spec tires front with a mild drop; however, the correct size will be 245/30/20 for front, 285 or 275/25/20 rear. like you mentioned, try to match the rolling diameter if you are planning on running a staggered set up. this has been discussed many times, search more if you have other questions regarding the wheel size.
