How do you guys running 18x9.5 in the front do it? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I'm running a 18x9.5 +40 wheel on a 245/35/r18 tire with -2.4 degrees of camber and I would say I'm lowered about 2inches. I'm getting some rubbing in the front. I see many of you guys running similiar setups with no issues what gives? Am I missing something?

You're not alone. I'm 18x10 -1.8 up front and still rubbing but on the front towards the lower side of the guard. Wide life.

I'm running 9.5 +45 up front with 255/35. No rubbing, but I'm lowered only 1.5"

I'm running 9.5 +43 with 255/35. Lowered about 1.5 inches and I rub slightly on full lock u-turns.
