Is the tyre hitting the upright, or is the wheel fouling the control arms?
The way the lower control arms mount to the hub, the only thing that can foul is the wheel itself, the tyres can't physically hit them, unless it's right out on the rear mount (Even then I doubt it).
If the wheel itself is fouling, the only solution is spacing it out, that's why the offset is important. A 9" rim should fit fine with a 35 offset.
275's should also fit fine with a 35 offset.

Sorry buddy !!!! I probably didn't give enough info !!!!!
Running D3, 9 inch wide 20" wheels which I believe are 46mm offset. The wheels themselves aren't fouling, but the tyres do foul against the uprights. I let the car roll forward and the silver of the upright has rubbed on to what I would basically call the corner of the tyre. If you follow the thread across its face and just where you start to fall down the tyres sidewall is where its rubbing.
