Your new setup does not result in a wheel/tire combo that is appreciable bigger than the standard ones. So the should not rub.

There have been some rubbing problems posted with tires of your size if you go to the 10" wide rims in the rear - i would stick to 9.5" max.

My setup is 8.5x19 ET13 245/35 FRONT, 9.5x19 ET20 275/30 REAR.

Works absolutely perfect.

Can experiencing small rubbing at full compression of the suspension when at the same time turning into a sharp bend. Just like on Nurburgring last week

Be sure to check that you get a offset that works OK.
