New rear tires rubbing

Ok guys, I got these new rear tires bridgestone potenza S001 275/30zr20xL to replace my crappy general gmax. Problem is now its rubbing. The guy at discount tires recomend to get my fenders rolled. Or Ica put my old gmax back on. He said he cant find one that wot rub unless I down grade. Reason Im changing tires is bcus the gmax are very slippery on wet roads especially here in vegas. what do u guys think?

Rear fenders already come rolled. I think you might be rubbing on the bracket that connects the rear quarter panel with your rear bumper. I'm running same tire size and I did that with mine and I am also lowered.

Looks to be that rear bumper bracket, should be ok after you trim it down w/ a dremel tool.

I cut the bracket off with an electric saw. I also put 3m double sided tape in between the back bumper and rear quarter panel as well.
There is another thread with the same topic.

I hope this helps.
