245/35/20 and 285/30/20 is perfectly fine.

Depending on what brand of tires matter. If they tires run wide, then maybe I would suggest a 235/35/20 and a 275/30/20 instead.

I'm on 20x9 +35 with 255/30/20 tires on the front, 20x10 +45 rear with 275/30/20 tires on the rear. Also lowered on Tanabes and have zero rubbing issues even with a full car. You do have a 10.5 wheel, but even then I don't think you should be rubbing. Is it a heavy rub? Or just grazing the tire?

Your width on rears are a little less aggressive then mine, might be the case too. Initially I told Vossens I want 10" after searching forum but they recommended 10.5".
If I use Sport+ mode with people on back seat only rubbing on hwy ramps though...
