It's due to the offset of your wheel, not because of the tire. It's either that, or the width of the wheel. So, what wheels do you have?

I run a 17,8 +35 offset with 235/40/17 and don't rub.

Spacers will only increase your problem if you're rubbing on the fender. So better yet, where are you rubbing? Outside or inside.

cool, so we'll have to look into HR spacers if you want to get anything less than a 25mm spacer.
