Pretty aggressive, definitely at least stretch 225/35's and 245/35's, shaved/rolled AND pulled rear fenders a little at a minimum. Fronts will be okay with a roll. Just make sure the front rims are a high disk face to avoid a spacer and an effective offset that's lower than you initially planned on running.

Kinda depends on your ride height and suspension setup, and especially what fitment you're really trying to achieve.

I'm good for mid aggressive. Will run coilovers and the Lo dish face all around.

Then you'll definitely need a spacer on the front, say 15mm to be safe and basically make those 20x9's a -1mm offset.

Nothing low or mid disk will clear the front calipers without spacers.

I'd suggest getting your suspension squared away and dialing in your stance first. Your ride height drastically effects wheel fitment. When I first lowered my car, I went top of tire even with fender arch and I poked rim a little but tucked tire. Then I lowered the front 5/8" and the rear 1 1/8", the fronts cambered hard and I would need at least a 15mm spacer to get back that same fitment.

You just gotta play with it. Also being static, be mindful of your spring rates. I'm on a 14k/12k setup and would've gone even stiffer if I knew then what I know now about the driving characteristics of low and flush fitted LS430's.

They're going to poke a good bit until you go low, very low. Measure from the ground up 25" by the front wheel, that's about where you'll want the top of the fender arches to be.
