Is there anything else that I can do besides smaller tires or a lift kit. The rear is fine but all the trouble is in the front. Ive tried the rubber coil boosters and it didnt work.

Is this serious? The car was originally outfitted with something probably around a 205-215 width? Probably a 15" rim for an overall diameter of 25-26"? And you think fitting a tire/wheel combo that is 11.25"x30" is going to fit???
The reason it rubs alot is you are using tires/wheels that are MASSIVELY oversize for your vehicle. Even if you could find a 25 series tire for those 22" wheels, they would still be more than an inch taller than stock. If the goal of this change was to outfit very expensive tires which will rub and completely ruin the final gear ration on your car was the goal, you've acheived this, and set up a front end that probably will only steer effectively at the lowest of slip angles. If your goal was anything else, you completely missed the mark!
The only real solution here would be to either get a different car that can actually use the tire/wheel package you have, or to get a different tire/wheel package which is actually suitable for your vehicle. If you want to upsize, look for something in a 17" wheel and probably 235-245 width... try to keep the final diameter as close to stock as possible unless you are specifically trying to change your gearing.

What about going narrower like 235. Those tires are awful fat for the space you have.
