Exclamation Need help with tire rubbing!!

I have some Goodyear Eagel F1 Super car 275/40/18 on a 18x9.5 rim. They seem to be rubbing a little on the inside fender of the Rear only. I have Lower suspension, Rear is center. Does anyone else have this problem running tires with this size? I seen people run some huge sizes on the Rear how do you guys do it without the rub? Oh by the way the Rims are C5Z06 Motorsport rims.

u need to do the bfh mod (BIG ******* HAMMER) to the inner fender and u might need to cut out the bump stop. this is a common mod with the bigger tires. i run 315s on mine and had to do it. no wories bro just part of the game

4sure I'm not really worried about it to much just can't decided If I want to do the BFH mod or just get some wheel spacers. If I went with wheel spacers what size what I need? 1/4"?
