Jeremy,

Thanks for the phone call regarding the issue. As mentioned, numerous people are running the exact same rear 275/35/18 Star spec combo as you on our wheel with no issues. Nitto NT-01's are even being run and those are significantly wider.

The simple problem is your ride height is most likely way too low in the rear compared to others who are running this same setup. The 275/35 is much taller then the 245/35 the car comes with, so to run a tall tire and to be lowered a lot, is very probable cause for excessive rubbing. Once you get a photo of your ride height posted up, we'll be able to see what's going on. You mentioned the tire is tucked up into your fender, and I can't think I've seen anyone else lowered so low that they are tucking their 275's.

We'll also want to know if you're having any issues on the other side of the car. As that can help us isolate the problem.
