Serious Rim/tire problem

Here is the deal just got some enkie rpf1 type rc's 18 x 9 + 18 offset w/ 245 40 18 falkens 615's. Problem they are too big (wide), so solution get fenders rolled and run a little negative camber, by the way I have swift mr springs. So just got fenders rolled and running -2 camber. They are still rubbing! Everytime I hit a big bump on say the highway or something they still rub! Damn these are bad a$$ rims the look incredible in person. So I need some help what do I do? Couple options I thought of, put stock springs on back of the car where they mostly rub, get wider finders but don't want to spend too much money, sell them on ebay. Everyone post your advice, I am pissed!

I wouldn't say it's a serious problem I would say that it's to be expected. I may be wrong but with that offset it will rub no matter what and seems to be a bit off than what people usually get for an Evo. You have to remember that 9 inches is a wide rim even with a 245 mounted on it. Pair that with an 18 offset and there will be rubbing. It doesn't seem like you expected to do any modification so your best best would be to sell them if yuo don't feel comfortabel rolling your fenders which is the best and cheapest option. Hope this helps....

I did roll the fenders but there is still rubbing, that is what shocked me. Still not sure what to do just don't know if putting the stock springs in the back is a bright idea to keep these .
