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.
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.

I have 10.5" rears with 265's on my Roadster in my sig. Granted, I can fit 295's which I will do next time, but the 265's look fine.
