Awful rubbing! Shot suspension or tire/wheel size issue?

Awful rubbing! Shot suspension or tire/wheel size issue?
So my G coupe (non-sport) has 20 inch wheels (8.5 inch wide, 25mm offset) and 255/35 tires. Suspension is all stock and the inner fender liner has been removed from the front.
However, under hard cornering the tires rub hard against something. It almost feels like the brakes are seizing up. I know other people running the same size wheels and tires, so I would have guessed that it is a suspension related issue, but I'm no suspension expert.
Would bad springs possibly cause something like this? I see Gs all the time with 20s that are slammed with zero rubbing, but my stock height G is having major issues.
I would really like to lower the car, but I don't want to put any money towards that until I have the rubbing issue resolved.
Thanks for your input.

Just turn the wheel all the way right or left and check to see if the tire is clearing the inside of the wheel well etc. Sounds like its definitely rubbing on something but should be easy to spot.

Im dropped on S techs w/225's in the front and I can say I "barely" clear the inner fender lining. Im also running front spacers so are situations are different but your on a much wider tire. Im only running 255's in the rear. PS: Can we get some pics of the whip w/those tires! Id love to see what 255's look like in a box setup on 20's!
Keep us posted!

I can feel the tire hitting something and rubbing very aggressively while turning, but I'll turn vdc off today and see if it persists. Makes an awful noise as well when the rubber makes contact. By no means am I cornering like a race car driver, these are just mildly quick turns. I've been taking most turns slightly slower than average to avoid the rubbing.
