You are right, I wasn't dropped at the time. However, I guesstimated that it would fit even with a drop, with no rubbing. Even if it needed to be cut in the rear, I'd do it. I was on a 235/35 in the rear also, not much of a stretch on General UHP's.
Since this guy didn't mention anything about lowering the car, getting better fitting rims now, for when he goes lower, will complete the overall look, rather then buying rims that will 'fit' now, then when you go lower, be all sunken super gay like.

If you cut your fender to the edge, I believe you can fit a +20 with only running between 2.5-3 degrees of negative camber on a 245/35.
If you want to be safe a +25 will be you in a trouble free zone, just don't expect to be "perfectly flush." (which might not be a priority to the OP.)

I can tell you right now I'm on a 9.5 with a +24 running a 245/35 and have about 2/3 of my rear fender cut. No rubbing at all, and I'm actually thinking of putting a 5mm spacer in there. If I cut to the edge of the fender I should be perfectly flush without having to pull the fender.

Now, if this guy is not dropped and installs a 9.5 +20 with a mild stretch, there is a chance he might not rub at stock high, which I doubt that. However; lets say he goes on a trip and has three budies in the back and a full tank, I bet that tire and fender will get damaged. I know agressive offsets are cool, but it takes work for them to not rub or damage the tires and fenders.

If your going to drop it, you will need to cut and pull the front fenders for sure. If your going stock heighth (don't do this with 20's) you can drive with those wheels but it won't look good.
