I guess I ll be the first, your tires are zn inch over spec the proper tire size for a 20 is usually a 245/30. That's why it's rubbing!

well what is the rim size? giving just a tire size means nothing when it comes to aftermarket rims.

If your rubbing up front its probably just the plastic liner and you should try to heat it and shape it.

your rubbing because you have incorrect tire sizes. you need a 245/30/20. your tire is too big.

the rims' size is 20"

well here's one more thing i've noticed today is that it rubs in the back too when i go over bumps and stuff
and plus the rims and tires are sticking out of the car body like i have spacers doesn't this mean the rims are not the right offset?

even though it's not lowered do i still have to put 245/30?
then why the back is rubbing?

I'm running same tire spec as you. I also heated and shaped my tire liner as much as possible and still get some rubbing. I've learn to live with it. It's not chewing up my tires so I'm ok with it.. Wanted the extra height to protect my rims..
