205 50 15's on SWIFT springs and 40 offset..How do I not rub?
So,
I'm currently running the stock 195/55/15 Dunlop's on my 15 6.5 40 offset Rota slipstreams. I'm dropped on SWIFT springs with Tokico HPS adjustable struts. Currently I only experience slight rubbing on the front fender clips, usually on hard dips and turns. The old stock rubbers are staring to give up the ghost after more than 30K of "spirited" driving. I had HFP's with 205 Bridgestone G forces and they were a much better tire. I'm looking for a similar all season (although its rather temperate here in the bay area) tire 50 series to get a stiffer side wall and better acceleration... and ideally i want the 205 width... What will i have to do to deal with the rub? If I can find some one willing to shave my fender clips and possibly add some camber (not certain the best route for that) do you think i will be in the clear?

I'm running konig helium 15x6.5 40 offsets with kumho spt 205/50's on skunk2 pro-c's.
In the front you can push the plastic fender liner up and over the inner fender lip to gain a little more clearance. Then slightly bent the clip mounts up. It fixed the slight rubbing i had on hard corners and bumps.
