Since OP has no idea what his exact spec's are let me try to help & summarize;
tire size:
245/35/20 - front
285/25/20 - rear
Wheels: Vossen CV1's
20 x 9 - front
20 x 10.5 - rear
Possible Offsets:
15/30/38 - front
15/25/45 - rear
As someone already mentioned those rear tires seem a bit too wide but I know I've also read in a related thread about tire sizes that someone had a similar set-up and was lowered on springs with no rubbing. With that said offsets play a big part on if it will rub as well. Might want to reach out to the person you got them from. Do you know what kind of car they came off of?

I think those tires are waaayyy too wide! People usually run 245 or 255 in the rears and 225 in the fronts.
The offsets are usually at the end of the wheels specs, for example:
20x9 +15
20x10.5 +15
Usually the underlined number. Sometimes people will have it as "et 15"

Dude create a build thread so u can do updates all the time without having to keep making new threads.
The rear look pretty agrees sing but If they're coming off a GS then it should've been a 45 unless the ran super aggressive and went with a 25. Do u Have spacers on?

On my CV5s I'm running 235/30s in the front and 275/30 in the rear, lowered on Road Magnets. I rub a little in front when In hit dips in the road or turn hard.
I'm putting 285s in the rear next time I need tires. There's plenty of space back there (rear fenders are rolled)!

Those are the same offsets I have. You need to roll your rear fenders and heat up the liner to push it back - any performance shop should be able to handle it if you aren't inclined to do it yourself.
Your fronts are going to rub in sharp turns no matter what. I've relocated the fender tab and heat gunned the fender liner and I still rub a little.

The tires are too wide, especially up front. You'll have rubbing on the back side of the wheel on turns and possibly in the fender tab. Look up fender tab mod and heat gun for the top on the fender liner (that you can do). Don't lower it till you fix this. Look for performance ships in your area to see if the roll or shave the fenders and quarter panels. I'm running 225/30/20 and 255/30/20 just FYI.

could it be that she is scraping and rubbing because she is mad at me for buying her USED 20" Vossen shoes?
she gets very mad when i make sharp turns...
not too mad on bumps...
i can always turn up the music and ignore her...
but this will not lead me to a happy ending...
i love the way she looks in her used shoes...
