what offset are those rears. Probably a little on the aggressive side, is my guess. Try trimming the inner fender guard, if its just lightly rubbing.

you need to run a lil neg camber..not much but jsut a little...maybe go off a half degree and that should do it...or not even...im running i believe 1 degree of negative camber or 1.5 degree and im using 285-25-20 on a 10.5" in back and i dont rub n e where at all..and mine is lower..im using s-techs...

What tire brand and model are you running the rear? With the H tech's and Toyo T1R in that size, we are able to get it rub free....with a couple of sessions of grinding, and then test driving. It's doable with the T1R, but other tires can have thicker and blocker tread. Unfortunately, there is no perfect industry standard, as to what defines a 285/30/20.

John is running 20X10 in the rear with the 285/30-20. I'm sure the sidewall is a bit higher than mine since I would be a tad more stretched on the 20X10.5 so maybe that's the difference.

+1 one for the T1Rs. Good tires if you need a stretch. I just got myself a set and clearly see the difference on the sidewalls with the wheels mounted.

broodie, if you are still rubbing, then you definately have an offset or tire sizing problem. There is no much you can do about, other than raise your car up, or run a narrower tire, or a shorter sidewall. As mentioned, dialing in more negative camber can help as well.
