Default In Need Of 22" Tire Size Advice

Good morning fellas, I recently purchased 22" Asanti wheels with 255/30/22 in the front on a 22x9 rim size and 295/25/22 in the rear on a 22x10.5 rim size for my LS 460. I've also had the rear fenders rolled which reduced the rubbing tremendously. However there is still some rubbing when I have passengers and when I hit a dip in the road. I really love the look but I'm more concerned on driving without having to worry about any rubbing. The wheel salesman recommended going with 265/30/22 in the rear and guarantees they'll be no rubbing. My question for you guys is does anyone currently have 265/30/22 in the rear? Is there any rubbing? Does anyone have any other suggestions that would get rid of the rubbing besides switching back to my stock tires. Any information would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

First is your car lower? I have run 245/255/265 in the rear on previous wheel sets before and no issues.

I also think the the wheels backspacing and offset would play a factor.

I run a 245/30/22 all around on my 22X9.5. My offsets are +15f and +12r.I rolled my rears, I only rub whenever I ride low.

I run 265/30-22 on my 10.5" rears that have a +30 offset. My rear fenders are shaved down to about 1/8" left. I am currently on an aftermarket air setup, but before that I had no rubbing with my BC racings coilovers

If the offset on your rear wheels is close to +30, you should have no problem with the 265/30 size
