well where are the tires rubbing?

spacers move the wheels/tires out towards the outer fenders, if you're rubbing there now (probably) than it's only going to be worse.

I had the same problem the rear end is wider and pushing your wheels out. If you run the s197 wheels you should clear the 275's but im not sure about the 315's
