After coilover but before alignment, the front is higher then the rear and the rear is rubbing a little bit. From what they told me the rear can't go any higher in the rear and the curb height is 25.5" - 26" all around. Do you guys usually go lower in the front so the curb height isn't even all around? Specs are BC BR coilovers, enkei Rpf1 18x9.5 255/35 Front 18x10.5 275/35 Rear

Trade off, MPG can be lower , gearing change , tires cost more.
Straight up street driving I recommend the narrow set. If you are buying quality tires and play on track or canyons , the wider setup is nice.

Just to put more information out there, I'm on 18x10 265/40 +25 all around at the moment. When the car was at stock height there was no rubbing or issues of any kind. Now with the car lowered, the front rubs a little on the outside. At first it was the top most screw on the outside of the fender liner so I removed it, now it's only rubbing under the right circumstances on the tab that this screw went in. I will be raising the car around 1/4-1/2 inch shortly. The rear is perfectly fine, camber and toe were out of alignment a bit though.

I'm pretty sure I have it figured out but want to check before ordering.
I was planning on running the standard 245/40 front, 275/40 rear setup but i can get a good deal on 255/40 and am making sure that is ok to run on the front.
fronts are 8.5 +15

just kept 18x9.5 +12 square ( i add 5mm spacer all around)... Work Kiwami. previous owner of the wheels got nt05 235-40 front and 245-40 rear on them
the gap between fenders and tires became bigger than my 19" wheels 35 profile setup.
i want to remain the same gap as before ( look nicer )
here are 2 pix.. one with my 19" ce28n 245-35 front & 285-35 rear.
which tires size i choose for my 18 wheels, to reduce this gap?
