If he goes to a 35 series down from a 40 it may be all he needs. His sidewalls may be a tad too high and causing him to rub, hence dropping to a 35 series.

Why would he have to get a wider tire to run a 35 series? You can run a 275/35/18

Fenders are rolled, probably gonna have them rerolled again but flat this time and add some more camber..
Just to clarify it only rubs when the car flexes to a side hard (bad roads), its okay for about 90% of the time.

No one bothered to mention that tire brand and model greatly affect the overall profile of the tire
Some brands will have a taller tire, others have a wider tire
OP what brand are you running?
I don't understand your response, how would a 35 series rub more than a 40?
Come on man, work with me
This
You're not the only one, plenty do this
I wouldn't bother with fixing anything for a little time (as long as you're not damaging your rear tires)
Every situation is different as this thread shows, so many other factors like tire brand, fender rolling quality, and tire brand/specific model
