Default Anybody ran 245/275 combo tires with spacers?

The time has come for some Michelin Pilot Super Sports, I really want to upsize to the popular 245 front and 275 rear combo which I hear works fine on the stock wheels.

Problem is, I'm running some H&R TRAK 15mm spacers front and rear. Has anybody ran those upsize tires with spacers without any rubbing issues?

I'm not lowered at all but the backs look awfully close to rubbing even with the stock 255's.

I'm running 15mm spacers all around and Continental Extreme Contact DW 275s in the rear with no issues. I'm also lowered. Haven't swapped out the fronts to 245s yet but plan on it soon.

I am running 15mm all the way around, and have 245F/285R on 08' wheels. Starting to notice a slight rub sound going over very small dips over 35mph in the front, but I am not sure. No rubbing on full turns. No rubbing in the back at all.

I have 245/275 Michelin PSS and 15mm H&R spacers all around.
No issues. I am also lowered in the front by 0.7 inch by Eibach springs.
