So my wheels and tires would be much further out from the suspension compared to their setups. I'm gonna be +6 further out than they each are.
And the users in the thread I linked you to aren't having rubbing issues with the shock (which is the main topic of your concern), they're having rubbing issues with the fender and lining. THAT is why the first poster had to adjust to more negative camber with narrower wheels and that's also why the second user stated that he needs to switch to coilovers. Not because his tires or rim are having clearance issues with the shock perch or spring, but because it's poking too far out past the fender and lowering the car further with coilovers will give him enough negative camber to avoid it.
Again, I very much appreciate your help but your examples are much different than my setup in terms of offset.

umm, the difference between et 37 and 42 is 5mm, that's exactly the example I gave you. Additionally the examples above were 9" wide wheels, yours are 1/2" (12mm) wider. Try to imagine what all this means and good luck at the machine shop.
