Default Tire setup with least wheel gap

Hi guys,
I have a 2015 GS350 F sport and im due to change all my tires soon. I was wondering what the best tire setup would be that would give me the least amount of wheel gap? I dont like lowering my cars, but the gap between the tire and the body of the car kinda gets to me. Is there anyway i could go with a wide sidewall to close the gap? Thanks in advance

If you change the tire profile, you will change the the rolling diameter of the car, therefore throwing your car off on mileage. A wide sidewall won't help. Lowering is the only thing you can really do to clear the gap.
