Whelp after tinkering on suspension and modifying the fenders I took it for a test run late tonight. The good news is, no rubbing on the front fenders or any part of it. Bad news is, the new coils for my Stance coilovers on the rear settled in and dropped it another 1/4" after I measured and had everything at the right place before heading out.

I could hear it rub loud over dips in the road and when turning onto other roads. However, it's just the rear wheel well lining that connects to the bumper. I shaved it down today and will have to raise/shave it some more but it's very close.

Front got dropped another 3/16", rears dropped another 1". Will take some pics in a few days when it's all adjusted to my liking.

Updates

Aight, updates on potential final suspension adjustment. I may get a bit more camber in the front. Currently -2.5 in the rear and -1.5 in the front. Fronts poke out ever so slightly about 1/2" and the rears are about dead on flush.

I had to shave off the front sheet metal inside the wheel well like Jew did including shaving off some fender liner in the rear and the tabs down a lot to get rid of it from hitting on it going over dips in the road. Took a lot of effort overall and time and patience to get it to look good but it pays off

Is this aggressive enough for you all or do I need to space out a bit

^I'm pretty sure they're going to say it's sunken and to get it out more. Regardless, looks good.

Indeed, sometimes it's the smallest tweaks that make the biggest difference.

Vlaze that loooks great! Glad you got them to the heighth you want with no major surgery lol. Now that they're on the car, would you make any changes to the offset, ie go down to +25 or is +28 perfect?

Honestly +28 is dead perfect for that rim/tire setup Ross for 18x10. Originally I was going to get 18x9.5 -28 but the vendor was out of 9.5's for orders and I was gonna have to wait 2-3 more months. I figured go big or go home and went to 18x10 and I'm glad I did because a 9.5 would of been 3-4 mm more in under the fender. All depends on what you want. If you want more camber than -2.5 then perhaps the extra 3 mm would help out to a +25. If I adjust the front they should be like the rear, dead on almost flush. Or if you want poke then you would drop down to a +22 or less. I wanted a slight poke or flush look and I got it.

I'll try to snap some shots in the daytime later today. Some angles make it look like the front is a tad sunken but it's not, it pokes out on the very top slightly and the rears are dead on. I'm very happy with the way it turned out. I bumped my Stance coilovers up to a stiffer setting from 8 to 12 out of 15 and that helped along with shaving a lot of the rear wheel well liner off. I haven't heard more than once or twice it hitting over typical road bumps and don't even cringe anymore going over them.

Oh, and big thanks to all in the past few months who've helped out with your setups and opinions. The combination of that allowed me to make a close guess to what I wanted and it worked out well; you guys know who you are

Aight..here are some better pictures in the daytime.

This is how I roll in the countryside

RF rubs over medium/deep dips in the road and looks like with the Tsunami front I'm going to grind more off it to eliminate using 1 of the screws and that should be good to go. Rears slightly rub if I go over a deep enough dip on the modified fender liner which is fine by me as they're grinded all the way down to the screw itself that connects the bumper to the fender.
