Rubbing with 275s

Just had my rear tires replaced and noticed that the shocks have a spot worn on the side.

The inside edge of the tire is worn as well.

I am currently on the stock sport suspension, sport wheels, and have no spacers installed.

Alignment seems fine as well.

Anyone have any ideas as to what the issue may be?

Are those the rear tires? If it's in front the 275s will be very close on the inside, in back there should be no problems.

Nope, those are the rears.

It seems obvious that the stock wheel offset causes tire/damper interference while using 275 width. Either use a thin spacer or buy stock-sized wheels with 5mm or so less offset.

Hmmm, that sounds strange, I was running 20x10+45 on 295s and they cleared just fine on my RWD sedan. Or are you running the stock 18s on a sedan, that could be a different fitment vs the 19" on a coupe.

It's a 2008 g37s coupe

Running the stock sport wheels:

19*8.5 Front with 245/40/ZR19

19*9 Rear with 275/35/ZR19

Something's off cause 275/35-19 fits just fine all day long.
