Hello everyone, and thanks for reading. I need some advice/help in getting my tires to stop rubbing my inner wheel well. Surprisingly my rears do not rub, only the fronts do. Here is my current set up please give me some input on trying to get this to fit.

Wheels: 18x9.5 + 30
Tires: 245/40/18
Coilovers: Apexi N1
Camber: -1.75 in the rear stock up front (getting bolts for the front soon).
Height: unsure exactly sure how much lower it is, but the fenders hover about 1/4 inch over all 4 tires.
Fender work: Fronts are sedan fenders w/roll, rears are rolled and pulled.

I know getting a lower profile tire would fix the issue, but i'm saving that for my last resort because i just got the tires not too long ago. I was thinking possibly 5mm spacers all (still have some space) around and about and some negative camber would help.

Any thoughts and input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks agian.

Albee.

How do you not rub in the rear? ****

Beats me...might be because I have more inner wheel space.

Might have to take out the fender liner or cut it away in that area

Should do the 5mm spacer route. Nice rims btw

Already took it out....its rubbing the actual wheel well...paints been polished clean now I have to primer it so it doesn't start rusting.

I think the side wall would be to skinny looking. The tires you have on now look fine. Just get a 5mm spacer up front

Thanks. I may have to do that. But from the looks of it I might even have to do a 10mm spacer 5 doesn't look like it'll do the job.
