Default Need advice on 20 inch squared setup

I have a 2013 base AWD on factory 18x8 wheels +45 offset sitting on 235/45/18 all season tires on all 4 corners. I'm looking for a squared setup and found some aftermarket wheels. They have 2 options, 20x9 +38mm and 20x9 +30mm. Which would be the better choice? Also, I'm not sure what tire size to go with. I don't want to deal with any rubbing or having to roll/pull any fenders because I plan on lowering on BC coilovers down the road for a nice, flush fitment. So I kind of want the widest/tallest I can get without having issues for when I'm ready to lower it

I did some more searching and there's another set of wheels I like even more since they're wider and cheaper. They're 20x10 +38mm. They also have 20x10 +35 and +40 options but they're on backorder. Which offset would work best? I'm thinking of going 245/35/20 all around with +38 offset, would this work? It's the front I'm concerned about because I would still lower it eventually

x10 +25 will not without fender mods, the 245 tire will be right on the fender liner. Here is a 20x10 +40 , he had to run 12mm spacers and extended studs up front and run 235 tires. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...-complete.html

thank you. I’ll go with the 20x9 +38 to
try to avoid issues. What tire size do you think I should go with? Would 245/35/20 work?

I think I'm going to compromise and get the 20x10 wheels in a 20x8.5 +35 size instead when they're back in stock. I'm assuming a 245/35/20 all around would work with that setup?
