setup for G37X Coupe

Just purchased some works and just want to make sure I get the correct setup. I did do a search, and i got a number of different answers but wanted to get additional input with the sizes, offsets, and drop of my car.
Im dropped on eibachs, rear camber kit. Wheels are work durandals 20 x 8.5 +38 front and 20 x 10 + 38 Rear. I dont know if i plan on coiling next year or not just because the roads here are awful. any opinions appreciated!

Tires have to be within 1% of oem rolling diameter and generally Xs have a square setup because of awd...
Use this to get tire size within 1%

THE most compatible 20" staggered tire size for an x are 245/35/20F
285/30/20Rear, if that's too much rear tire for clearance then 235/35/20F
275/30/20R you can use the 245 on that combo in front but you'll be right at the 1% edge, the 235/275 set is much less than that front to back.

If you're offsets are OK on your wheels you can run the 285s.
