Default Rim/tire size on lowered Lexus

I just lowered my 07 IS250, said it was 1.5” it was more like 3”. I ordered a set of xxr rims 20x9 35mm offset, I’m going to be running a tire size of 26x8.5. You experienced Lexus guys, do you think this set up will fit? I was told by friends they don’t think it will. I can’t return the rims and I have a car show May 17th. Will I be okay or am I SOL? What do you guys run and how low are you?

Are they coilovers or just springs? The offsets seem ok. The overall height is what your issue may be I suppose. I would look at a tire conversion calculator and see how close the setup is to OEM.
