Need to purchase tires, looking for input.

So I need tires asap. I am trying to decide on what size to go with, so im looking for input. Pics would be awesome.
2005 G sedan.
drop is unknown 1.5" ish (on coilovers)
Wheels are 20x9 and 20x10 +25 all around.
Currently I have 245/35/20 front and 255/35/20 rear.
The front diameter looks good, im happy with. The rear I like as well but they look a little large. 27" for the rear and I think 26.75 for the front.
I was thinking of going with 245/30/20 and 255/30/20, but that puts me around 25.75"-26".
Looking for input on tire brand as well (looking for a high performance all season, or summer). The current tires are nitto and I like how the rim protector lip makes a smooth transition to the wheel lip with the slight stretch. I dont like it when the tire tapers down then the rim lip sticks out further.
I saw a thread a while back that listed tires and how they compared (small, true, and large). I will have to search for that again.
I almost have the camber dialed in, so I dont want to go any narrower than the 255 in the rear, they clear fine.

Just looking for input. Thanks and here is a poor pic for reference.

A bit better sizing to use would be 245/35-20 and 275/30-20.

I would love to run a 275/30/20 but I dont have the clearance in the rear for that tire. 255 is as wide as I can go.

Thanks.

I personally think 255 is too thin for a 10" rim. Are your fenders rolled?

Yes my fenders are rolled flat. With a 255/35/20 I have very little clearance.
Here is a better pic that show how the wheels fit.
