The wheel thread has a ton of info on what members are running. You should find your answer to tire size there. I was always under the impression that the awd gs should be square setup...explore the wheel thread I bet you can answer your own question.

Are you prepared for the vibrations that come with lowering? Google search Lexus AWD wobbles.
As for tires, i would recommend 245/35 and 275/30 since rolling diameters are pretty close.

You see the same weather that I do. Don't lower it. It makes no sense where we get snow and ice. Enjoy the high ride, I know I learned to over the years. Put a nice set of winters on it for the majority of the year and just drive over the little mini snow banks that most people avoid, find street parking everywhere easy.
