Need advice - F82 scrapes in the center while leaving only

So I recently bought a new property and it is in a gated community with an HOA. I am currently scraping in the center of my car when I leave the complex. It's sounds worse than it probably is because I'm scraping on my exhaust so it literally sounds like scraping metal on concrete. I tried different angles while leaving and so far no dice.

Tried to deal with the HOA and it's going no where. If it wasn't a shared zone I would demolish that drive way and redo the angle...but it's not the case.

I am mere millimeters off to not scrape anymore. Like 1-2mm.

I'm on stock suspension with 255/35 R19 and 275/35 R19 MPS4S.

Sinch stock diameters are 26" for the front and 26.6" in the rear, if I go 265 / 35 R19 (26.3") and 285/35 R19 (26.9") in MPS4S do you think this would give me the 1-2 mm clearance? Or should I go up even more to 275 and 295?

Thanks in advance!

Any photos of the pyramid driveway? I don't think 275/35 295/35 would look good on OEM 19x9 19x10 wheels (too bulbous) but I assume that would definitely take care of your issue if it truly is 1-2mm only. At the same time, super angulation should take care of that 1-2mm but I don't have a visual to see if you are being blocked off from going at a ridiculous angle.

I scrape daily going out of my driveway as well and I can minimize the scraping by going as slow as possible so the suspension doesn't compress at all - literally slow creeping at 45 degrees to get out. I don't share my driveway so I can be that turtle however.

if your tires are worn and the OEM PSS* I wouldn't be surprised if new PS4S in the same size made you clear that (basing off what I read).

How can you possibly scrape on stock suspension? Post a pic so we can see. I scrape ever so slightly leaving my garage but it's sunken and my car is low on coilovers.

In all seriousness if you want to complicate your life get race ramps… or move lol. You can also get a scrape guard for your bumper.
