Bravo, you've done your homework
Both setups net similar fitments w/ the top set being about 3mm further in on the front, you might consider 255s in the front if you go w/ that setup since the 9.5" will be a bit stretched w/ 245s. Have you verified Big caliper clearance w/ the Rennens? Always nice to have your new setup that clears a BBK, as you may want to get the big Akebonos down the road.
Other than that you should be good to go, those gramlites are a pretty hot looking rim IMO.
If you don't mind rolling your rear fender edge you could get 285s back there too

Recommendations accepted. Thanks Blnewt!! Edited my original to update tire sizes. Still open to ideas, opinions, recommendations.

The rear on the '08 Coupe does have a flat edge on the fender. What do you think of the Rennen CSL-2 sizing/configuration. Appreciate the help. The set-up I described above is going for $1375.

And again, those Rennens have a pretty good lip and those aren't always able to clear the big calipers, that would be my main concern w/ that set. This template is useful if the vendor can't verify clearance

Need some advice on fitment and tire sizes. I recently bought a set of used Stance ST-1's
20X8.5 +35
20X10 +38
With my research, these should not rub, is that correct? What would I need to do to make these flush?
The front two came with new tires but the rear's are bald. I was considering 275/40/20 or 285/35/20. I'm at stock height and don't plan to lower until next spring. Which tire would look the best, I'm looking for meaty tires.

The 275/40s are way too tall, by almost 2" for a whopping 6.7% taller than OEM, for RWD 3% is considered the most variance you should shoot for.
The 285/35s are better but still almost 4% taller.
That's the tradeoff for going w/ larger diameter wheels, the tires sidewalls have to shorten to make up for it.
FWIW a 275/35/20 is right at 3% so about the "meatiest" tire I could recommend.
BTW, what front tire size are you running?
