Will 245/35/20 on 20x9 +35mm rub on stock heights at the rear?
Hey everyone! Ik this question might have been asked already but I cant seem to find the answer. I recently bought a set of 20x9 +35mm for my 2013 Lexus GS 350. I am going with the square setup so I was wondering if I could run 245/35/20 all around on stock suspension without any rubbing issues? I see some people run 275/30/20 for their rear so i was just curious if there is less clearance in the back not allowing me to run a 35 profile tire? So i wanted to ask you guys to see if I could do 245/35/20 all around?

Folks are typically running staggered setups which call for a lower profile in the rear to compensate for the wider rear tire. Here is a great explanation: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/whe...ml#post1831568
Since you'll be running a square wheel setup / square tire setup, no need to compensate for any subtle differences in tire width/height.
Personally, I don't think the concern would be about the rears. The concern would be if your 245 tire on a 9" wide wheel will rub in the front when you are turning. The only way to know for sure is to mount the wheel with the tire you plan to use (every tire is slightly different and some will likely fit without rubbing while others may rub). However, a few members (above posts I linked) said it worked with their setup. Maybe send them a PM to find out the wheel/tire brand/make and tire mfg and specs on the setups they used...
