I took my car to the dealer because I was getting a noise from the rear of the car. They checked my car and they said that my rear tires are rubbing with the struts tower. Has anyone had that problem?

You are probably running too high of an offset, rim width and tire. I have 20x8.5 (+40 offset) wheels with 235/35/20 tires, lowered with TRD Springs. I have no rubbing at all with 3 people in the back.
