Default 2007 GS 350- 20s staggered Rubbin- Help

What's up guys, I'm new to this. I recently sold my G35 coupe, and purchased a 2007 GS 350 RWD. I had staggered 20s and pulled them off the G35 to put on GS350. They are 20x8.5 +25 offset, 20x10.5 +30 offset. I'm running nitto nt555 245/35/20 (fronts) and 285/30/20 (rears). I'm having serious issues with rubbing only in the rear. It rubs with only me driving, and can't imagine how bad it will be with people in the back seat. Do I need new wheels in the rear with higher offset?
I saw a lot of people running higher offset with a 275/30/20 in rear. They make a 20x10 +40 offset, but do you think this will stop rubbing? Also can I put my existing nitto rear tires on new wheels in the back 285/30/20, there are only few months old. I would like to be able to ride people in the back without rubbing. Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated!!

I had the same issue. I shaved my fenders and I still rub

Changed to 275 in the rear and there was no more rubbing

Those tires are oversized. Definitely should change to 275/30/20 in the rear, or possibly even less wide like 255/35/20.

Okay I figured it was too big. Do you think I should change the rims as well to a higher offset? These are 20x10.5 +30 offset.

Are you lowered? I assume so I run a +25 with a 10 wide in the rear and run a stretch 245 no running at all unless I hit a huge dip. I first ran a 275 and rubbed horrible!!!!!!!

Default No rubbing issues here :)


Yo what up dude ! My current set up right now is
20x10 =255/30/20
20x11 =275/30/20
Offset +28 @ll åround.
Lowered and with 3 passengers too.
I definitely had to shave and flare them rears just a bit.

If you want to keep the same tires and not drop more $$$ on a different size tire, you can try shaving the rear fenders first to see if that will eliminate the rubbing. Then if it still persists, get a skinnier tire and you should be good!

Shave the rear roll the front. If you roll your rears you can get waves. Shave is the way to go IMO.
