how about more negative camber in the front?

 

This is where its rubbing

 

OH! I got that. fun right? LOL I just bit the bullet and shimmed the wheel and rolled/pulled the fender even more. now its still at the same camber settings, but farther from the cahssis

i see you removed liner to try and fix. i highrecommend putting it bac kon

 

what exactly do you mean when you say Shimmed the wheel? my fenders are slightly pulled up front, how much more did you have to pull it?

 

Those wheels are way too wide and too low offset the car, and 245s on those wheels are too wide for wagon fitment. I would pick up a different set of less aggressive wheels. You can run wider tires and the car will handle and drive better

 

Or you could get sedan aluminum control arms..tht will give you 10mm clearance

 

would you not have to swap half shafts too?

OP, what i meant is i went with a 1mm wheels spacer.

 

Not trying to be a smart ***, but if im rubbing the inner wheel well, doesn't that mean i need a aggressive offset to push them out further from the fender?

 

the problem is the 40 series tire. dont be discouraged EVERYONE makes this mistake with low fitment wheels. since you dont wanna swap that out, youre gonna have to wait until your camber plates for the front come in and then your gonna need a small spacer so you dont rub in the front, add some camber up front to make up for the lost clearance due to the spacer and all should be well.

 

Then you'll have outter rubbing issues. Bite the bullet and downsize, other than that accept the fact your herra frushness is not as functional as you thought. You gotta compromise dude. You can't have superior handling and frushness. What a lot of people automatically assume is that bigger wider wheels and tires give you more grip in turn making you go fast. Wrong. Then people comcomplain that they can't go fast because they rub....well....lol. I'm about to give up my 18s. I'm just dlne rubbing

 

Id say just trade me! Same exact rims that you have, just 18x8 and a 40 offset instead of the herrafrush fitment you currently have. Plus they have fresh 225's which would work perfect on your wagon and saves you from having to buy new tires!

 

235/40/18 is a tall tire, you would gain an inch of height clearance by dropping that to a 235/35/18. Personally as much as it sucks I would get new tires and sell your others. You might not have to run spacers after the tire swap. I run 245/40/17s which is close to the same height as 245/35/18s and dont rub on my 04 wagon. This is with 17x9 +35 wheels which should sit similar to how your wheel sits in the wheel well.
