You'll probably always have some kind of rub, but it might be worth it (especially if the rubbing settles down without going through the liners fully).

245/35 & 265/35 is a really sweet setup in terms of ride/handling, for example, and has that Porsche RS fitment look about it. Going from that to a 30 profile on the rear is a noticeable step down in comfort.
Already gone through the liner😱
