The offset and tire width are the main contributers here. A higher offset with the same tire would be ideal, but the same wheel with a narrower tire should decrease the rubbing, but may not eliminate it. +45-50 offset would be ideal, but it's hard to find wheels in our lug pattern higher than 42. Mine are 45, with 225's and 7.5" wide wheel...only minor rubbing.

Also you can isolate where it's rubbing, and it's usually the rear bumber in the fenderwell on 6th gens, you can trim some away decreasing or eliminating the rubbing. If you need more room you could roll the fender lip upwards to get more clearance.
