First issue is your 245/35/20 Should be running 30 series not 35, also is it 8.5 wide up front? If so, run 225s. 245 is too fat of a tire as well.

And as noted above, roll your front fenders, it will cause a slight flare which will help.

How low are you?

Well I had 30 series but I crack both front rim so i thought 35 would give me more rubber and protection, and yes they are 8.5 up front.. isnt 225 kinda of small for a 8.5 rim?

^^LOL. Get smaller wheels with a higher offset along with proper profile tires. You won't rub, won't have to roll fenders and it'll handle better. And yes, 225 tires are skinny for 8.5 inch wide wheels but there are people who love that here and will give you mad props for having them.

Try 225 45 20 tires that would give it a nice stretch

Maybe it wasn't as much a tire issue as it was a wheel issue? You're talking about the Sevas S22s right? Someone with experience can chime in with those. But from what some have said some of those sets of wheels had QC issues. Again, others that have experience with them can chime in.

you need to run a 245-30 or a 235-30 and they wont rub as far as sevas go they have had issues cracking but just avoid the potholes you wanna ride big wheels you gotta be prepared to deal with low pro tires and all the issues

also run the tires at a 40 psi pressure... I've had low profile tires and daily drive through the NYC 5 boroughs without an issue...

Good Luck...

225/35/20 (moderate stretch) should help solve that problem and like everyone else said get your front fenders rolled.

40? That's not too much? I mean if that really helps I'm going to do that. I usually run at about 34... or is that too little?

He's saying if you run stretched tires put in 40PSI.
