What size are your tires do you have spacers? I'm running 20x8.5 all around with 235/30/20 didn't roll my fenders no spacers dropped 1.25 on springs and I'm not rubbing

Thats why you're rubbing then. Anything bigger than 235/30/20 is gonna rub. Another member in another thread was having the same issue and switched to 235/30/20.

since you said your rubbing in the rear, i believe the problem is the 275/40/20. maybe switching to a 265 would fix the problem.

275/30/20. A 40 series tire is too tall. Here's a 20x10.5+42 tucking with 275/30/20 and no fender mods.
