I also have 245s in there and never rubbed either. You may have a kinked frame or suspension piece somewhere.
I would say try to find the thinnest spacer available.

I had 255's on this summer and they didn't rub.....are you using the thin shims that came with the car? GM put thin shims on the rears with the 16" rims. The fronts will rub slightly when you turn no matter what...my 16" iroc's rub even with 245's, but only when I turn sharply.

Usually the front tires rub on the front wheel well liners. Spacers won't fix that. Spacers fix the rub on the inside wheel wells...

I'm utilizing the thin, factory shims on the rears but don't rub at all in the front using a 245/35/20...definatly check alignment and suspension componentry.
