Well thats just super... lol. Hopefully removing the bumper tab will solve my issue or doing a combination of that and 35 aspect ratio vs 40. I really don't want to spend the money (now) on a set of coil overs or konis to control the dampen rate.

I ordered a quick release so I can remove the tab and am about to order some 35 aspect ratio tires. But if someone has words of wisdom i'm all ears.
I'm running a 10 wide up front with +18 offset. Fitment is absolutely spot on with -2 camber. What is your camber setup up front?

You would need to get more camber in front, on stock height there is no issues, but lowered you will need -3, -2.5 if fender rolled. I am lowered and don't have any issues with -2.7 front camber and around an inch gap between tire and fender.

With SPL FUCA I am able to get -3.2 and I am lowered an inch. I have no issues running 18x10.5 +30 or +15 and 275 35 tires. I also run a 18x11 +18 with a 315 30 tire and no problems so far.

Now I am on -3.2 with 285/30/18, not a tall tire so no issues, I used it with 275/40/18 and -2.7 without issues, there was a little rub when I turn too hard at track, happened twice only. With 275/35/18 there shouldn't be any problem at all even without any negative camber.

275 35 18 is definitely fine, 285 35 18 works too

Fixed the issue! The rubbing was on the tab where the bumper was mounted just underneath the head light. I used a quick release (push style vs band) and removed the tab.

Rubbing is completely gone and i didn't need to mess with camber or go to a different aspect ratio on tires. So you can use a +15 10.5 wheel if you want to do quite a few other things.

Which 19x 10 wheels do you have and what is the offset?

Sorry if it was discussed before- did anyone try rear 18x9 wheels in the front?
I use stock 18" with 245/40 and 275/35.

350z track wheels are 18x8.5 +33

Thats too weak a size

Most track folks here run 18x10.5 or 11, +15 to 20something
