I have the same set up and lower than yours...your set up is 'wrong size tyres', should be 255/35 NOT 255/40, or to be safe 245/35 or 245/40, that should sit flush and no rubbing issues for rear. Rolled fender will be better and bit of camber wont hurt. Hope this helps

New rear tire to a 255/35 will make it fit better plus give you back your acceleration.
If your gonna keep your set up then..
-roll the front and rear fenders(if you want that dropped looked)
-since your tires are wide you have to run negative camber to make em not rub if your going low....you might get away with the fender rolling if your not going low

Even with negative camber set at -1.5 front and -2.5 rear you will still rub. Get the fenders rolled... that will solve it.

erick, i really like how it fills the wheel well! make sure to get enough camber to not rub over bumps, but it looks good.

i love a lot of profile on tires, but for the size of the rim, the tire is too big about an inch. roll and trim ur fenders.

Make sure your wheels are straight when you go up a driveway ; )

It makes me sad to see a shop put the wheels and tires together without taking the extra 2 seconds to line up the yellow dot with the valve stem. They know you've put a lot of money into the setup and should take the time.

That is unless you had the combo roadforce balanced.
