Dude, let them rub, It'll go away after a few miles. And go for those exact tires. That's what I did and couldn't be happier..

Enjoy the set up!!

mine never rubbed... then after I had the goodyears mounted, I guess I put the wheels in different locations then they ever were (never had my spare in rotation, but now my spare is a DD wheel)

my front right wheel rubbed the caliper... the person that mounted the tire informed me to just leave it.. it rubbed for maybe a mile, then the sound went away.. I have since removed the wheel to do brakes, and the caliper ground itself down quite nicely.. better and smoother than I could have done thats for sure.
