Switching to 255s may be your best bet. |

If you change the size you will set of a hole bunch of sensors UNLESS YOU DU THE SAME FOR THE FRONT 1 the abs at high speeds 2 the tire monitoring sensors and your traction control,sounds like you got the wrong offset on the wheels that you purchased i would check what belongs there should be a 35 not a 20

What size is your rim? 19x8, 8.5, 9, or 9.5? Call the people you bought the rims from and ask what the offset is for the front and the rear rims. I think 255-30-19 is the biggest tire you can go with that wont rub assuming you have the proper offset in the rear wich would be between 50-55mm i think.

A few of us have wheels with those specs, et 45 and 9.5 inch wide rears. If you stick with your suspension as is you should be able to run most 245/35 rear tires and some 255/30's. I don't know if anyone makes a 245/30/19 but that would work too.
My wheels are the same and my car is lowered and I don't rub.
