245/30/20 will still hit the well, won't it? Should looking removing panels. I suppose the heat gun idea would work if you don't want to demantle the well, it's still manipulating that area. Personally I'm all about being able to go back to stock.

if the tire is rubbing against the top of the fender liner, it's too tall.
if the tire is rubbing against the inner/outer sections of the fender liner, it's too wide.
tire size vs. sidewall height
235/35-20 - 82.25 mm
245/30-20 - 73.5 mm
that's why a 245/30-20 will not rub as much as a 235/35-20. for tires for 20" wheels, go with 30 series, not 35 series.
