i have a slight rubbing from the front, only when i turn the wheels all the way in reverse or a large dip, but i'm running 20x8.5 with 245/35/20 which is bit larger than the oem spec. donno what's really causing your rubbing.. just sharing some info..

you are rubbing because you are running overspec tires, and when turn all the way (hard lock turns), the edge of the tires are rubbing the front/rear (NOT the top) of the front wheel well
