Best tire size for 20x9 f and 20x10.5 r on W219 CLS

So I just bought some new wheels. They are HRE 3pc
Front 20x9 et 31
Rear 20x10.5 et 29

I plan on lowering the car slightly (.75"-1.25") depending on how the wheels/ tires fit.

Here are the suggestions i got

Front:
245/35 20
255/30 20

Rear:
285/30 20
295/25 20
305/25 20

My main issue is that I live in San Francisco where the roads full of potholes. I want to have a decent amount of sidewall. I dont want the tires to be super stretched a slight stretch is fine.

Im thinking about going with hankook v12s

Post pics if you have any!

Thanks
