Trash up my ride? really? What about it is "trashing up my ride"

Bottom line, it does not rub in normal driving and there is nothing destroying my suspension.

Because Diamond rubbed his "naughty place" too much and it fell off. That's why he's terrified of rubbing now

You guys are being pretty hard on this guy. He is correct, if it rubs it rubs that's the bottom line. I think a tire would be destroyed before suspension but if it is rubbing on the inside on the suspension couldn't that potentially cause problems?

OP stated that it rubs on bumps and dips, try doing some spirited driving taking hard corners and report back on your rubbing issue. Then load the car up with your buddies and do the same with a full tank of gas and report back.

Have you taken the tires off to inspect what's rubbing and where?

I have the same set up but I'm running 255/30 on the front and 295/25 on the rear with no rubbing (toyo). I'm sure this set up will not work in NYC with all of the pot holes. Your rims will get destroyed.
