I have the same problem. I'm going to try 245/30/20 in the front since I need new tires anyway. I'll let you know if it helps.

rubbing is most of the time an offset problem.
What are the offsets of the wheels ? (ET)

Most probably, its an offset issue ...but, if u do plan 2 buy coilovers, i recommend kw variant 2 (adjustable height and damping) ...check out the reviews...and believe me, your car won't bounce...it even feels better than the original...here's the link :

what offset are your wheels (particularly the fronts)? it sounds like that's your problem. i'm running the same size tires and get minor rubbing in the front as well. you could either get lower profile tires (25/30 series instead of 30/35) or roll your fenders. either way should fix the problem.
