Default 2002 Lexus GS300 20inch Wheel Question

Just picked up a 2002 Gs300 already did the front tte lip now looking at wheels and love the concave look

Looking at the Stance Sc-5ive Machine Black, 20x8.5 with a 245/35/20 in front and 20x10 275/30/20 a few sites are saying the OFFSET is 35mm.

My question is and i feel like a noob but is the rear going to rub or am i going to have to roll the fender in the rear and or possibly also roll the front and can i go with a 35 series in the rear?

one shop told me to do 20x8.5 and put a spacer on but i said wouldn't that be the same as if i just bought diff size widths in the first place

Suspension im also putting on is the TEIN S-Tech Lowering Springs.

Thanx for your time

rear will rub with those tires i believe....it all depends on how low you're going to be. 2 finger gap will give u some rubbing...i'd suggest you to roll your fenders...BUT our answers will be nothing unless you test fit them on your self....if not, roll your fenders to be on the safe side, since you will eventually roll them anyways haha
