Post Help i'm rubbing

Hey CL,
So when i have a heavy load and hit a dip i rub in the back. I got 18x7 1/2. Not sure of the offset. There flush with the fender's. Currently 245/45. Im looking to get 215/40. Will this eliminate the rub or would i still need to roll? Thanks guys.

i would probably go ahead and roll the quarter panels, then you could go bigger with the tires and lower it more if you wanted and it look really good.
