Depending on your offset and where you rub. If you're already rubbing with a 245 wide tire, your probably still going to rub with a 255. From 35 to 30 your tire is only getting thinner but the width is still there. I would do 245/30/20 as that's what everyone is mostly recommending in here...

That sounds like the wrong offset on the wheel in combination with too much lowering.
