Default Any New Tires Rubbing on 20", 275/30/20??

Just got new tires for rear on aftermarket rims. 20x10 fitted with 275/30/20. I get slight rubbing on driver side. Previous had 255/30/20 but tire shop says this would not fit per spec sheet even though i already had these on originally. They were stretched with old size but fit flush now.

These are Hankook Ventus V12 Evo the 2nd generation.
The tread pattern is more aggressive looking and rated better than 1st gen.

Anyone have similar problem and what if anything did you do?

whats your offset and are you lowered?

if you arent lowered with a +45 offset you should be fine. Lowered...you will rub on hard turns and when your car is loaded.

Not lowered with +45 offset get a little rubbing.
Just not sure if i need to do anything to remedy this or look for another size to eliminate rubbing?
Like going to 25 series tires which may be shorter in diameter?

TBH, im not a fan of 20s on the 3IS. Looks too big and doesnt fit right, even with the right offset it doesnt look to me! 19s are the biggest i'll go!

im currently on 19s.
19x9.5+40----245-35-19
19x10.5 +45---265-30-19
no rubbing!!

but you're not lowered> you shouldnt be rubbing!!
