20x8.5 +35 with 245/30/20 and you are rubbing so bad? that's so weird. i had 20x8.5 +32 with 245/35/20 and i just had marginal rubbing
look at the wheel well (i suppose you rub the edge). if you look at driver side, 11 oclock and around 2 oclock, you should see two tabs. you have to bend these all the way up. right now there are clips to clip the flaps to the tabs. take away the clips, and put the flap BEHIND the tabs instead, and then push them all the way up. that will give you a lot of clerance.
you can roll the fender lip a bit, but not much you can do. also for the flap, some parts you might rub. just use a heat gun to fully heat up the plastic (watch out not to damage the outside paint), and then use a cold damp cloth and push them all the way up. that will give you more clearance
that shoul do it

The wheels now have the new brushed Zone caps instead of the chrome caps you see here.

I just switched my wheels from 19's to 20's
Weds Kranze LXZ
20x8.5 with +37 offset 245-35-20
20x10 with +35 offset 275-30-20
Lowered with Tein H-Tech (about 1 inch drop)
No Rubbing what so ever. Not even close.

Anyone that has done or may provide information on what the correct setup is for a 3rd gen GS setup? My car is an AWD vehicle so i will have to go with non-staggered setup (probably 8.5 all around). I'm interested in what the correct offsets should be.
Information would be greatly appreciated for the experts in here.

Maybe you can go _x9 with +38 offset for the front and _x9 with +32 offset for the rear.
GS 2G and GS 3G has similar offset. I think on G3 have bigger brakes caliper so you need to make sure that front wheels clear the front caliper.
Maybe go with high disk in the front.

Lexus Test Driver
Wheel Name and Maker? Volk Racing "SS"
Wheel spec/size(front & rear along with offset) : +44 (front & rear)
Cast or Forged? semi
Tires size (front & rear) 225/40/18
Was the car lowered? (2~2.5") depends on my mood
How did you lower your car? JIC coilovers
Any rubbing? only while doing some spirited driving
Did you roll your fender? no
