Anyone running 17x9 +10 in the rear?

What size tire would you guys suggest? I'm guessing something like 235/40 or 45

My fenders are rolled, and tab is relocated. No rubbing at all, but my tire is extremely close to my bumper.

Managed to achieve more negative camber with SPC ball joints. These things are amazing.

I'm running 18x9.5 with 215/40/18's, maybe I should opt for the 35 series tire?
dont go thinner tires. Just trim your bumper where it rubs easy fix and don't cost u nothing. Thinner tires= stiffer impacts on the the road and will not have alot of support to withstand potholes. Meaning possibly crack your rims or bent them really bad. Just my 2 cents from experience

Yeah I figured that too which is why I wanted to avoid it, and if I were to shave the parts where my bumper is rubbing, it would ruin the arch of the bumper. Which is why I'm slightly confused how some guys are not tearing away at there bumper.

it's not the inside of the bumper that i'm worried about, it's where the actual arch is. If it were to continue to rub, it will make the arch of the bumper crooked so it isn't perfectly shaped anymore. hard to explain, but it's rubbing from the outside of my bumper where it is actually visible.
