That kind of an offset for a 9" wide wheel makes me think that the tire is rubbing the spring/strut 
.
For example, I have KW Street Comfort coilovers, and I'm running 8.5x19 ET14 245/40 R19 wheels/tyres in front and there's only 5mm space between the tyre and the strut (lower spring plate).

I'm currently running 255/30 on the front and I'm going to buy new tires. I just want to make sure that they won't rub if I go to 245/35. The guy at the tire shop made it sound as if they were going to rub and I wanted to get some feedback from someone that had them.

So your asking if 245/35/20 wont rub? and currently your not rubbing with ET24 correct? If so 245/35/20 will be OK... im currently running 255/35/20 but my offsets are ET12.. thats +12 than yours .. but I had to roll my fenders because my tires are wider.

i have 245 30 20 front lowered i rub only on a big dip. make sure tire isnt hitting strut spring perch/collar. if the tire is rubbing the fender well maybe stiffen the coilover more or go up a mm or two
