With a quick search, I read that I can crack my fender if I roll. What if I shave? What will give me more clearance with the least risk of damage?

^ you really need new rears bro, 275 is hella fat. Shave a lil less than half and roll it up to make your fender a bit more sturdy

Honestly, its not even bad. Run stretched tires and roll fenders. run 215 up front and run 235 in the rear.

i wish i had that offset on my 9F and 10.5R... like what everybody said,you need to stretch the rears. and you probably meant crack the paint if you roll the fenders,not if it's done right.

Wrong Mike. I wish! I have no complaints with my H&R's, as soon as I blow a shock, I'm going coils. How much clearance did cutting the fender to the wall give you?

Because the front is up higher on the driveway and the tire is turned so the weight is shifted toward the drivers rear. Look at your pics it shows the drivers rear is lower.

If you did it the other way around where you are coming from the opposite end of the street with your drivers side up the driveway more, your passenger side should be lower,

Weird thing is that I used to go in at this angle with my WORKs and specs were the same 19'' 8.5/9.5 with the same tires and it never did this.

Try it coming from the other direction. It's easier to understand how it works if you experiment. Maybe your suspension settled some since then.
