anyone had problems with rubbing at the rear even after rolling the rear fenders?

also, how much camber is needed for no rub? im guessing 245/40r17 wld be a more appropriate size?

If ure going to track the car or race it on these wheels. Go with 17. 18 will need a lot of fender mods and is heavy for autox and similar racing

Would 17X9.5 be a better choice for track because of the 30mm offset?
