Default Advice needed for wheel fitment

I have a 1997 sc300 and just wanting to get your input regarding wheel fitment.
Front's offset is 20, 19x9 and rear's offset is 20 19x9.5.
Car's lowered using Tokico HP Series Shocks with Tanabe NF210 Springs. Front is approx 1.5 rear is about an inch drop.

Questions:
With the wheel specs mentioned above Will the car require fender modifications?
And can I use 275/30/19 for the rear?
I don't want the wheels to stick out of the fender. I prefer having the fender to somehow just be slightly on top of the edge of the rear tires.

Or should I go 18x9.5?

Please advice... Thanks!

This will help:

Keep in mind that is just to give a general idea and not exact results, but they are pretty spot on.

Will depend on the width/offset of the rim and how much you want to modify your fenders. But anything is possible
