The tire accounts for the rubbing, DEFINITELY not your wheel size.

I run a 10.5" +22 wheel on a 275/35/18 Hankook RS3 with around -2.0* of camber in the rear on KW Clubsports. It fits PERFECT with no rub and looks the part. I'll post a pic later when I can snap one in the garage. The car is dirty but you'll see what I mean.

Height of 275/35/18 = 96.25mm
Height of 265/40/18 = 106mm

Big difference.
Can I see pics of the rear please.
