Upgrade your suspension or stretch the tires more.

245/35/20 are too tall, try using 255/30/20 or 245/30/20 for the front

the front fenders are prerolled from the factory, you'd need to either get wider fenders or flare them out, or buy a smaller set of tires, or get less aggressive wheels =D

or listen to rabbit ^ haha

I ran 245/35-20 dropped on bags and rubbed occasionally.

What offsets and wheel sizes are you running?

Doesn't matter if it rubs or not, 245/35/20 is just the wrong tire size to run on the front of a coupe period. 245/30/20 or 255/30/20 is what you want

What is the point in running a tire 1" taller than stock?
