Default Frustrated need help with tires

Hi everyone...I'm getting a little frustrated and I need some help. I currently have 19x8.5 +27 up front with 245/35/19 Falkens and 19x9.5 +23 in the rear with 275/30/19 Kuhmo...my tires up front are brand new (had to get them because my old tires were about to blow out) and my rear tires need to be replaced soon...the issue that I am having is that my rear passenger side tire is rubbing...my frame is not on center (not sure why) but my wheels poke out my passenger side a little more than it does on the driversside. I am currently running a -2.2* in the rear and its still rubbing. I am trying to figure out what tire I should run in the rear but im limitted to Falkens right now...so here are the options I have running through my head...was wondering if anyone can help me.

1. take my front tires 245/35/19 and put them in the back for a stretch look and get some 235/35/19 to replace the fronts.

2. get 255/40/19 for the rears...

3. get 265/30/19 for the rear...but I think it might rub still

I have a finger gap in the rear and front right now...trying to get coils soon and want to have the tire and fender flush. I already have the back fenders rolled (i know i should have cut them) but i am lost right now...any help would be appreciated. thx

yeh id go the 245/35 onto the back and 235/35 up front. should be right then. iv got rears rolled half way, -2.1 camber, and 245/35 on 10" up back with no rub. half of the tyre sidewall is under the guard.
up front ive got 235/35 on 9, -2 camber, and its pretty well sunk, could do with less camber. (guards also rolled)
