The tires are very fat haha. They are 245/40/18 nittos. I am thinking of going 35 series and I shouldn't have problems with that. Thanks though guys.

Thats not a fat tire LOL, you just need to add some camber. When my car was stock body i ran 18x9.5+15 wheels with 265/35s and didnt rub. Just need to roll your fenders front and rear, run about -2.5 to -3 deg camber front and rear and you should be fine like i was.

I guess I should have been more clear, compared to the previous 245's they are very fat I am on springs, so I'll have to get a camber kit. Any suggestions?

The year you will be fine, Im on stock adjustments in the rear and my camber is set at -2.6 with 0 toe. For the front i would just get some camber plates to go on stock struts, unless you want to spend the money for coilovers. I have Megan Racing Track Coilovers and they have been doing just great for 40k + miles.

Yeah was more talking about the car looking fat lol, As goad said you can get away with a larger tire even, by dialing in some camber I'd run a 255/35

255/35s are a good fit for 9.5 wide

What amount of camber in the rear should i be good with? And how much can i go in the front on stock adjustments, if any? The rear is rubbing on the inside of the bumper, its not doing any damage its just annoying as ****.
