    Well the problem is the backspacing of the wheel, you need at least 5.5" of b.s. with a 10" wheel, a little more is better, closer to 5.75" would probably be optimum.
    Or you could simply step back to a 275 tire.

    I run 15x10's and my backspacing is 5-5/8". You definitely need some more backspacing. You could also put air bags in the rear springs to stiffen up the rear. It'll also help your traction, but the ride will definitely be "firm".

    If your rubbing with air shocks then the bags won't help, air bags run about $65 a pair.

    which model are you talking about.
    You say they rub but not where except you mention tubbing and that makes me think you mean they rub on the inner wheel wells.
    If that is the case then spacers will be required.
