Thanks for all the comments guys!! It gives me more of an idea on what to do now.
When I did the tire size calculator I must have been using 14" as the starting point. I re-did it with my 16s and the 20s and they are off .4%, which was waaaaay less than I was getting before! haha
I really do like the 255/35 in the rear and would love the 255s in front if they wouldnt rub on the driver fender and I wouldnt have to remove the inner fenders.
So heres what im going to do.... keep the 255/35s in the rear and do a 235/35 up front and trim up and roll the front fenders for good clearance. Plus I can get the 235/35s ALOT cheaper than the 215/30s. haha!
If and only if I can get some 275/35s kinda cheap I will do that in the rear.
Oh and to all the wiring up under the fender... I blacked taped it like a **** up against the washer tank and metal, so its not going to be rubbing anytime soon on a tire.
Once again THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR YOUR INPUT.
Oh and the clublexus.com sticker is 13" long.
Every car forum ive been apart of I have always advertised them.
My last vehicle was a Cheverolet Astro, and here is what I did for www.astrosafari.com :
There is a logo on the rear barn door and the rear window glass on the side.
And yes that is the reason I got my SC3000, because of my astro with 312,xxx miles finally gave up. I was the 2nd owner of the van also.

Not my style but hey, whatever tickles your pickle.
I'd suggest running a slightly smaller tyre profile but keep the tyre pressures up. I'm on 235/35 and 265/30 19" tyres and they are always between 38~40psi. And I mean always.

town called Nixa. My SC300 came from Kansas and ive never been to lee's summit in it. In fact ive only seen 3 others around the nixa/ozark/springfield mo area. Two white ones and a black one.

235/35/20 up front and 275/30/20 in the rear. Wheels are 8.5", car is lowered on Espilir ASD/Tokico Blues, and Daizen camber kit. I had my fenders shaved and rolled a little (all splash gaurds still intact), but there is absolutely zero rubbing under any condition. Your car will look better once it's lowered.
