Default Rim size

Just put new koni orange shocks and eibach springs on the rear of my 99 ss and I have a 285/35r20 and I'm rubbing really bad, I was still rubbing with the old shocks and Springs when I hit little bumps, what do I do? Get rid of the 20 inch rims??

The 20" wheels are not helping you do anything, if anything they are hurting your ride quality, braking and handling due to the extra rotating mass.
And eibach springs are far from the greatest you can put on the car, generally they are known to sag as well.
Is it rubbing the inside of the fender or the outer fender?
Do you still have bumps stops in the rear? If not then thats a problem.
Did you roll your fenders?
What is the width and the offsets of the wheels?
Pics of where its rubbing?

It's rubbing inside and it looks like the fender too it's a ruff racing rim I'm pretty sure it's 9 or 10 deep with a 25+offset and I did not roll my fenders and I do have bump stops
