I'm running this size tire in the rear dropped on IS350 Eibachs. I haven't had any rubbing whatsoever. Some have said they needed to shave the inside of the rear fender, but I didn't even need to do that. Fits perfectly.

I'm not lowered yet, but I'm running 275/30-20's on 20x10 rims in the rear, and I have plenty of room to allow for a drop without rubbing.

At 9.5" and +37, you should be fine with a 275 tire.

I had 265/30/19 and I hated the look. I drove them for 50 miles and asked for a refund. those only look good if you are slammed. and I only have eibachs.
this si why I just ordered 275/35/19 they will definitely cover the fender hole better. I know if there is rubbing, it should be minor because some guys have similar setups.
thanks
