At the mo, your new wheel size/tyre size combo is giving you a height from the centre of the hub to the top of the tyre of 313mm.

Do you know what the standard OEM wheel size/tyre size combo is? If so, then I can work out if the above distance is significantly taller than OEM - this could be the reason for the rubbing under suspension compression.
