Default 255/35/20 on front will it rub?

Ok I just got my ghetto @ss 20 inch wheels.The wheels are niche bahns. dont know the offset of wheels but they do have a 255/35/20 inch tire all the way around.They seem to be fine in rear.but the front fits fine also but it is the idler arm( I think its called)that looks like it is like 1/8 of an inch from hitting the tire.The tire spins freely while the car is jacked up without rubbing.I have seen that some of you guys have this size tire on youre car from reading some of the posts .Did you guys have to grind down the bolt of that arm to keep it from rubbing? All the help I can get is appreciated.The car is a 98GS400.
Thanks,

Throw a lil spacer on there and it should work fine. I had that problem when I ran 255/35/20s on my Lexus. Spacers are ghetto but hey u can make those things spin
