Default 20" rims rubbing in rear....HELP

Ok I have some Nitto Extreme tires size 255/35/20 and the front is fine but every time I hit even the smallest bump the back tires scrape horribly. I already have to buy two new tires but has anyone had this problem or does anyone know what may be the problem or why only the rear tires rub? Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks

maybe your struts are worn out do you have a heavy audio system in the back and whats the backspacing on your wheels it might not be correct

mine rub real bad *22 inch 265/40.22*when i make a turn with out stopping the rear driverside cuts the tire and if i tur more than a corner turn of the wheel the front always rub but the front dont really slice as much as feels like e brake engages and makes car almost come to a stop.huge pain when i have reverse and cut the wheel i have to over half throttle it to make it go. lol!!! i also hvae very big wheel spacers on all 4 and spring blocks just in front because there is brand new shocks in rear for a huge lift floorboard comes up about to my kneecap when standing out side the door oh and i kave no heavy stereo system in the trunk its empty (no weight)

This is just my opinion, but I think that Monte is already too high in the air with 20's..



I am not sure I am a big fan of huge rims on anything for that matter.
