Tire rubbing

Hi Folks, I have a 2012 S550 4Matic with factory staggered wheels, 19X8.5 front and 19X9.5 rear with +43 offset on all wheels tires are Michelin AS3 255/40 and 275/40. no spacers up front but I do have 13MM spacers in the rear. Getting a small rub when I hit a dip in the road hard in the rear. I noticed that there is a small tab where the fender and bumper meet in the rear wells and suspect that is causing the rub. Any problem with grinding that back. Other option is to go with a 10MM spacer I suppose but not sure if 3MM will even be enough.

Nope. Grind away. Or don't. I forgot to do mine on 20mm and once in awhile I'd get that brief noise over bumps. Never seemed to cause any harm though.
