My harness has rub marks on it. Was something I was going to address this winter. I recall someone telling me in another thread if you unclip the harness there's enough slack in it to route it along the side of that wheel arch.
I'm excited to move to a slightly shorter tire. Next year my plan is to run 295 Hankook Z221, I'm definitely going to lose some steering wheel lock as my 275 already has left some tiny marks on the insdie of the frame rails. I need to look at it again but if the rub area isn't on the tube portion of the frame rail and is just some thinner sheet them I'll probably trim out the rub area to gain clearance. Dallas I intend to you join you in those wider LCAs.

RPFs need a larger spacer up front, but the rears fit perfect, if that helps.

I run 17x9.5 +38 with a 20mm front spacer. Believe it or not, the front actually fits reasonably well with a 255 NT01. The rears fit with rolling (for pretty much any wheel, any way) only. 18s fit the rear even better.
If you don't want to use a spacer and don't mind mounting/dismounting tires, you can run +15 front/ +38 rear with no spacer.

i have 17x9.5 +38 NT03 wheels and they rub the rear control arms on track unless I use a 3mm spacer. The wheel rubs, not just the tire. I also run a 15mm front spacer and the fender lip is skimming the tire, but I think I need more negative camber to fix that. My car is not particularly low at all.
My car isn't very low either ,but my front fender is nowhere near my tire until fully compressed. No rubbing @ 2.5-3° camber.

Since the NT03 isn't available in a higher offset, he is suggesting a different wheel.

The nt03 comes in +40, so you could run them with a 25mm spacer in front and a 5mm spacer in the rear. My 18s are in the closet right now, but I’m pretty happy with the Wedsport TC105N in 18x9.5 +35, except the cost of 18” tires. For less money (and more weight), there is also the 5zigen fn01rc in 18x9.5 +35 (I had those back in 2005-2006). Both of those have good caliper clearance. I’m sticking with using my 17x9.5 +38 nt03s for now because 17” tires are so much cheaper and I’d rather work on driving/suspension/aero first.
