Good stretch for 19x9&10 & rear rubbing issues

I am looking to change my tires and am wondering what tires would be a best fit to stretch on my wheels. I seem to be having a problem with the rear tire rubbing on the tab on the rear fender that holds on the rear bumper on. It only rubs when I go over a big bump or dip.

specs are:
AME circlar SpecR
19x9, 19x10 +15 offset all around
Jic FLT-A2 lowered to tuck 1 inch of tire in front and rear.
front and rear ichiba camber kit. front to stock spec, rear -2 degrees camber, 0 toe.
rear fenders rolled flat.

current tires: 245/40 front, 275/35 rear.

anyone else having this problem with rubbing in the same area?

I am not sure if that will be enough. I tried doing some adjustments today again, I hope it works. If not I think I will need t stretch. I was thinking more like.. 225/35 front, 255/30 rear. don't know how safe that would be though so looking for any opinions for a reasonably safe setup

a 255/30 on the rear would be ridiculously small and most likely start messing with your VDC.

I'd go with a 225/40 up front and a 255/40 in the rear.

not on a G... those are horribly small for 19's. In 20's, those sizes would be fine.

If you're too lazy to go and look at your tire, then I guess I can't help you. Best of luck.
