Raise the car till it doesn't rub. If it's rubbing on the strut, try a 5 mm spacer.

Where is it rubbing (fender or strut)?

Did you get it aligned or checked the camber?

Eibach coilovers (with adjustable spring perch) or just springs (and maybe shocks)?

295 is where it starts getting a bit hard to fit up front.

Are the 5 spoke 6GRs +35 like the GT350R replica 6GRs?

With +35 offset, I would expect worse case they will fit with a little spacer and camber adjustment assuming stock style shocks. With coilovers, sometimes the spring perch ends up in exactly the wrong spot for tire clearance, which introduces a whole new set of issues.
