Do you guys roll the front fenders too? Remove the fender liner? I have 255/40 on an 18x8.5 +15 up front and it rubs on the fender every time I turn, what to do besides raise it? I will for now but I like the way it sits as is...

*also i hope you adjusted your coilovers correctly. if you messed with the preload that could be why the car can rub so easily too.

Your tire size is perfectly fine because you have an 18 inch wheel. Going to a 35 series will be too far from OEM sizing. Are you rubbing on the plastic wheel wells or the metal fender? If it's the metal fender I would remove the screw from the top of the fender and drive around for awhile and see if you rub anymore.

what the **** are you guys talking about...
it's the fender liner...
remove it take it to a body shop and have them trim or fab up the frame liner thingy that holds the fender in place.
you can bend it with pliers but I recommend a professional
I wish I had pics
245/40-18 F is stock on the nismo and even slam I'm still running it can be done with frame work
EDIT:
i.e. fender roll, hand pull sligthy or use phone book technique easy
O and when I say frame work if you remove the front wheel and remove the liner both pieces(it's two pieces front and back) you'll see a thin piece of rame or whatever you wanna call it poking out. It lines up with the center of the tire....you can hammer it towards you if your facing it...or have a shop remove it...
