First what mod's do you have on the car? Lowered? Camber bolts/plates? With the 245/35/20 tire there should be no rubbing at all. Do you have the right backspacing on the rims? What size rim are you running up front? Foose runs 245/40/20 tires on his cars.

What is your offset?

Where is it rubbing exactly?

You might want to check out your springs because I have the same size tires on AR wheels and it does'nt rub even on hard bumps and I am lowered 1.5"

Do you have the front end lowered? I have 255/45-18 in the front and I don't have any issues with rubbing. In fact I'm looking to lower a bit in the spring.

I have Foose Nitrous 20X9 with 255/35/20 (front) 20X10 with 295/30/20 Lowered with H&R 1.8" front drop and a 1.9" drop on Bilstein struts and Steeda HD strut mounts and have no issues what so ever. Something is not right because you definitely shouldn't be rubbing.

you could run 10's in the front lowered and it will still fit.. wrong backspacing !
