I Have brand new tire on them, so i dont feel like changing the rear tires till they are worn. I just will have to be carefull on the bumps

Your speedo will be off also since the tire you are running is too tall for your car.

so do you think that since im running 35 in the rear and not 30 this could be causeing the problem.... But i think it shouldnt make a big difference

the 35 or 30 refers to the height of the tyre wall and it is a percentage of the width;

"35" = 35% of 275 = 96.25mm
"30" = 30% of 275 = 82.5mm

That means your tyre is 13,75mm higher than the standard E60 spec. So that's probably why your tyres rub and others with the standard tyre are ok.
