front or rear?

(the more information you supply, the easier it is to diagnose your issues.)

the link indicates the rear. he circled and used the arrow to indicate that he's rubbing at the 10 o'clock position. I would suggest 30 series tires so it's not as tall. You can try to cut off the tab or have someone bang it in so it's not touching your tires.

i believe the pic is used for reference's sake and not necessarily his car per se, but given the assumption that it is the rear fender tabs that are causing the clearance issues...

regardless, i've ran everything from 235/35-19's to 255/35-19's 19 x 9.5 w/ a +22 offset, and i have plenty of clearance from rolled rear fenders and shaved fender tabs.

the OP's clearance issues in the rear are not from the edge of the fenders but the fender tabs located where the rear fender meets the rear bumper.

in case you haven't been following your own thread...

based on personal experience, unless you're running some stupid-wide/-tall tires, it's the fender tabs that are rubbing.

if signs of rubbing are on the corner edge/outside shoulder of the tire, it's fender/bumper tab.

the fender tab is at the point where the fender meets the bumper assembly - one at each corner.

depending on your ride height, you may or may not need to make alterations to the fender tabs.
just to save the trouble of repeating myself.
