I like the look alot btw. Mine are 18x10 with a 50mm offset but 18mm spacers giving a net 32 offset. I am also running 275's in the back. I think you are outboard about 5mm more than I am thus your rubbing problem. If all you need is 1/4" or so (and you don't want to change tires) consider installing some rubber coil insulators ala early Acura Integra. These have an adhesive strip to hold them in place and wrap around the coil. A better solution would be some thin gauge tough hose that you could cover the first two coils with top and bottom. This would get you 1-/8 to 1/4 inch higher in back. 10-1/2" rims really push the limits of rubbing. You can't beat the look though. What do they weigh?

That silver Volk Boxster needs more offset to make them 10.5" rears fit. Looks a bit too aggressive even with the negative camber.
Looks hella wide from the rear. Steamrollers, baby!
