also, to my understanding, i've heard fbodies should have no trouble running 10.5" rims and 295 tires in the rear without having to roll the fenders --- don't get out that BFH quite yet haha.
I put a few pairs of 275's on Camaros and Trans Ams when I worked at Sears AC with no issues... I do remember on one of them needing to adjust the phr, but they fit fine...
Rebuilding the engine... Building a custom front end... T-top conversion... Custom rear hatch..
Custom interior...
you need bump stops and probably an adjustable panhard bar. when i put my 275/40/17's on i had this exact same problem --- my bumpstops were destroyed and i was also getting a loud "scraping" or "rubbing" sound coming from the rear tire when i made a hard left or was cornering aggressively. all i had to do was replace the bumpstops and adjust my panhard rod and i haven't had a single problem since.
when i was having the problem, i could stand at the rear of the car and see that one of the rear tires stuck out further towards the outside of the car than the other --- it was only a little, but every cm counts when you have larger tires. i bet you'll be able to see this too.
Yeah it sticks out and my bump stops are done . Are the bump stops easy ? Do I just take out those two bolts and swamp them out ?

Yeah I ran 10.5 and never had this problem until I got bigger tires
ok so what would I do with the Big ****ing hammer ?
I massaged the inside of the rear fender wells with a sledge hammer. Im sure there is a more proper way to address this issue, but my tires have not rubbed since. The only time my bump stops would get in the way of the rear wheels was when I would raise the car up on a lift. I removed mine, and you can install smaller ones that should clear. Heres your pic of bump stops.
