Default Need tires for my wheels.....help!!

I'm new to the forum......I looked through all 81 pages of the wheel thread and I can't get the answer I want. Ok, I have a 2007 Lexus GS350 AWD, I just bought these rims, they are 20x8.5 +20 offset. My plan is to go square all the way around so I rotate them, I will probably get coilovers and not looking to slam it. Hopefully, some of you good people can help me. Here are my questions:

1. What tires should I get where I won't have to roll my fenders?

225/35/20
235/35/20 or
245/30/20

Need tires for my wheels.....help!!-img_1251.jpg

People are telling me that with that offset that I will rub all over the place. I just wanted to have that flush look. Can someone help me out?
Thanks.

225/35 will probably be your best bet.

Should be normal since 225mm is 8.8" may appear to have a slight stretch.

If you want no stretch, I believe it's a little more than 245/xx/20.

I have 245/40/18 on my OEM Lexus wheels. They're 18x8 all around.

I have another question guys........As I said before, I'm putting 20 X 8.5 wheels (squared) on my car. Is there anyone riding with a +20 offset? Evetually I will lower it, but for right now I will keep it stock. Will 245/30/20 work without rubbing with that offset or should I buy 225/35/20?

Help me out guys! Thanks
