Rubbing with spacers in the back

Just installed 10mm spacers all around with stock height settings. Noticed a rubbing in the rear tires. I'm using Michelin Sports 275/35/19 stock wheels.

Anyone experienced rubbing with spacers? Did you cut or trim anything to stop the rubbing? Is not a bad rubbing, i'm thinking its coming from the edge of rear bumper. Any ideas?

Also on front there's a slight rubbing when turning but I think that's been covered here already and it's a known problem for many.

I believe Michelins run wide. I'm using a stock setup with 10mm and opted to get the fenders rolled. Fine after the roll even with 4 passengers.

Did you rub before with stock setup? can't see how would be rubbing from the fender itself. I believe it's more toward the end of fender liner where it meets the bumper, there's like a curve on the liner and bumper ends. Anyone else had same problem?

running with 15mm rear with stock everything and no rubbing here. Even with 4 passengers and my hockey gear. Thinking about putting 12's in the front but being hesitant due to so many stories of rubbing.

A 275/30 will fit in the front with a 5mm spacer
