Default Tires rubbing

I just got some 20 inch wheels today with some 255/35/20 tires and the back two tires seem to be rubbing when I hit bumbs or something. I also noticed that my car sits lower in the back.
Does anybody else have this problem or any solutions to this problem?





Thanks,
Steven

put the old wheels on, find a shorter tire, or raise the car. thats all you can do.

finding stiffer and slightly higher springs is the route I would take. A good pair of adjustables is the route I would go!

I'm going to get some as soon as it stops raining.
It seems like it has been raining on and off all week.

I went to Auto Zone and got some. I cant remeber how much they were but they were cheaper than buying new tires so it worked for me.
