There is no way the rears are going to fit.

Guys rub with 20x10.5 et 43 with 275/30r with rolled fenders. You will need to shave and pull them slightly especially if you want to lower it.

Tires definitely didn't sit right, rubbed badly, couldn't even drive for 2 minutes. What size should I go down to?

Please help guys, I need definite answers. The fronts also slightly rub when I turn the wheels all the way. I'm thinking about doing

225/30/20 in the front
265//30/20 rears

Here's how the car sits as of now with the 295s in the rear

20x10.5 +40, 245/30 20

I'm lowered on H-techs as well.. i got 20x10.5 et +40 in the rear... i'm SUPER stretched on 245/30 20 (i don't recommend this for obvious reasons).. just test fitted 285/20's in the rear thanks to my neighbor at les schwab and the tire was touching the fender so i know for a fact that it'll rub like a fat chick's thighs.... so 275/30 20 is the max i can go with fenders rolled and have a possiblity of rubbage if i hit a bump.. ...

My suggestion for you:

225/30 20 front
265/30 20 rear (if you can find that size tire... most i've found were 265/35 20)

here are a couple of pix of the 245 rubberbands rear and my 225/30 fronts...









Good Luck!

Im on 265/30/20 as well. 275/30/20 rubbed like mad. lowered on Swift springs. 265 should be fine.

Daym really?? I already placed an order for 265s. How much of a drop did the swift springs give in the rear? I think the teins were .6

Well I'm on 10.5 +43 in the rear though. Swift is 0.6" drop as well. I think I can get away with 275/25/20.
