I paid a lot of attention to tire weight when shopping for tires. I'll be going with either Continental ExtremeContact DW or Michelin Super Sports. They are the lightest I could find. If I go with 285/30 in the rear, I'll have to get the Conti, 265/35 rear, I'll get Michelin.

When I ordered them, they said that Forgestar custom makes the wheel to your car's specs so that it sits flush. As long as it doesn't stick out, I'm fine with that. I would guess its 42-45 with the 10" in the back.

It might be better with 275/30 instead but I got the tires used from another member so there was no picking a size. Whenever I need new tires I'm going to go with 265's.
It looks fine on the car, but see what I mean? Can't imagine the rears sticking out any more than that. |
I think you're rubbing b/c the 275/35 is almost an inch taller than the 285/30 tire. That added height and depending on your wheel offset will cause the rubbing.
My main concern with the 265/35 on a 10 wide wheel is the 'stretch' look. I currently have 245/35 on a 8.5" wheel on my other car and it looks perfect. Not really stretched at all.
