I'll end up using the bolts that came with the battery. Just have to put a ring terminal on the negative cable. I removed the battery tray too, and its not flat under there, so I figured that wouldn't work either.

If you put side posts, theres no room to work with. They will be pressed against the fuse box or worse, if they're facing back, they will touch the firewall.
I still think its best to just use the supplied bolts and bolt them on that way.
If not, then I say just removed the battery tray and I bet you'll get an extra inch+ of clearance.

As long as you have something to hold the battery from moving, you're fine. I'm sure you can make your own battery tray out of something thinner, bolt it down just like oem one is and mount the battery just like the factory one is. If that doesnt work, then you can just buy battery tie downs and use them.
cover the posts on the top, put the battery on its side and use the side posts 
do it this way and you can go even bigger of a battery

ive always bought from them and i always just do offers on their "buy it now" items. always works great, or i end up getting a good enough lower price from the "but it now" price and it ends up being the lowest i can find online. and they do free shipping and no taxes. so ive bought from them quite a few times.
im going to try and go as low as i can, but yeah your right, they prob wont go too low. once the sent me a message that sounded pretty upsetting, saying why was i offering so low, that it was too low and they'd rather just keep their product. LOL. but they do a good job on going low. im going for 150!!! ahaha.

So, I was able to get it fit on my gs430 the way it was suggested here and from another buddy of mine. Used the bolts that were supplied from kinetik. Had a rin terminal crimped on to the neg side, on the positive side, the rings were drilled out to fit the bolt. Everything is good to go now. I just placed the plastic covers over the connections. They are not really held on by anything, but since there is minimal clearance (but nothing touches thankfully), they have no where to move to anyway.
