you will get the brabus spring too?
I think H&R coilover is the way to go. the ride is so smooth.
I suggest dont put 265 at the rear. go with 255.

you really need to determine where its hitting... but it sounds like it's hitting the tabs that stick out from the side molding and the tab fromt he rear bumper... once you grind those down a bit you should be ok... I'm running 265's in the rear and I have no rubbing issues at all once I had those pieces grinded down... there's really not much to roll in the rear...
