The car looks beautiful! is it scraping in the front or the back?. If its scraping in the front you need to switch to 245/30 or at least 255/30 If its scraping in the back switch tire to 285/25. It will be pretty easy to switch them out. Go back to where you got the tires and tell them that the sizes are to big. I am getting a set of 3 pc forged wheels. I will be running 245/30 front and 285/23 or 275/30 rear. The 245/35 thats seems to be so poular is way over spec thats why so many are havung the same prob. some guys are having rubbing issues without even lowering

Tire size seems fine. Tey taking that black fender lining off. That will give you a lot more clearance. My wife rides a car load wih no additional rubbing. She has 19's with 245-40 tires so it's the same diameter as having 20's. Don't know why her car doesn't rub more with the people in it. it does the same rubbing as mine with just the driver.

The ride looks good. Always loved silver on silver.
