Question 245/35/20 With No Rubbing?

IS IT POSSIBLE TO LOWER A GS WITH TANABE 210 SPRINGS AND TO NOT RUB. MOST OF THE RUBBING ISSUES ARE WITH THE TANABE SPRINGS. I AM WONDERING IF THE TEIN H TECHS ARE BETTER. THE ONLY REASON I COULD THINK OF WHY WOULD PEOPLE CONTINUE TO DROP CARS WITH THIS SPRING SET UP IF IT RUBS IN THE FRONT ( AND GOD KNOWS MOST OF US WILL NOT RUN A 245/30 RUBBERBAND ON THE FRONT) ? I THINK THAT PEOPLE WANTED TO LOWER THEIR CARS LIKE I DO BUT THE OPTIONS WERE FEW. i HAD TANABE NF210'S ON AN INFINITI I HAD BEFORE AND THERE WAS NO RUBBING WITH A 245/35/20. I CANT UNDERSTAND HOW A CAR THIS LARGE WILL RUB WITH THE SAME TIRE SET UPAS MY OLD G35. I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY HELP ANYONE CAN GIVE. AS OF NOW I AM THINKING OF RUNNING THE POPULAR SET UP WICH SEEMS TO BE 8.5 F 10 R WITH 245/35/20 FRONT AND 275/30 IN THE REAR WITH A TEIN H TECH SPRING

I actually have the Tein S-tech Springs and Toyo Tires: 245/35/93 width in both the front and back and I never rub!
