Default how to fix rubbing issues with 20's

Hey guys I need help from everyone, just purchase a set of Gunmeatl w/chrome lip iForged wheels for my white IS350.
Bolt pattern 5x114.3, 20x8.5 fr 2" lip, 20x10.5 rr. 4.25" lip. 245/35/20 fr, 275/30/20 rr. Barely clear the BBK with 15mm spacer in the front.
Offsets are unknown because iForged doesn't release it. I love these wheels but the problem is it's rubbing in the front and the rear. It rub when there is a little bump on the road or when I make a fast turn. Just by eyeballing it I don't think rolling my fenders would even help because the wheels are too wide or is it? What are my options? Is there a way to make this work. Keep in mind the car is not lowered. Or should I just sell it and take a loss?

what car was it made for? definitely the tires sizes are for a GS, not IS.

Change your tires and it might work...

Also, this should be moved to the 2IS section.

would 235/30/20 fr and 265/30/20 rr work? I also posted on the 2nd gen IS Thread as well. Because I dont want to stretch it too much. Keep in mind its 20x8.5 fr and 20x10.5 rr. Currently no picture but the front is rubbing on the inside panel and the rear is rubbing right on the top edge of the tire and on the edge of the inside flap of the fender.
