Fender Options
It's not your wheel offset...its when you turn your wheels on an aggressive incline/driveway that pulls on the fender. Try turning your wheels and getting the car to face the direction you want it to go before you go into the aggressive/incline/driveway and then straighten the steering wheel when you do go on it so your front tires tuck into the fenders when your suspension compresses.
Stay away from any fenders that are fiberglass or c/f. Metal bends...fiberglass & c/f cracks upon impact. Stay with stock...just get them rolled and flared.

okay, may be 2 fingers...anyway, it's so annoying. I have Coilovers too which I have set at pretty stiff.
Would more camber help this??
No, when you have your steering wheel turned, your tires will be turned as well in the direction you are trying to head and the top of the tire will always rub/push on the fender when you are on an incline/decline of any sort. Coilovers do not control body roll...Sway bars do. Hence the name..."anti-roll" sway bars.
I highly recommend the Downforce fenders(I have them myself), but if your wheels aren't very aggressive, it will look a tad silly.
My front wheels and tires are 17x9 +45 with 255/40s, and I could probably throw a 5mm+ spacer on and still be fine. The DF fenders provide a TON of room.

okay people..I get it....but no one's really addressed the real problem...I'm not talking about how flush you can make a tire fit in the fender well. I'm talking about how do you do that AND turn + hit a bump (even slowly) without destroying your fender!?!?
