Default Ap1 suspension issues

hey guys,
I have an ap1 s2000 and I recently purchased some ssr rims. S2k spec. Anyway I'm having an issue with stiffness of my suspension. I like in an area where the roads can be bad and anytime I hit a bump my tire hits my fenderwell. Can anyone suggest a suspension upgrade that can make my suspension stiffer so I don't have this issue?

Stiffer springs and/or a stiffer front sway bar will help a little. You will need to roll your fenders and add more negative camber. Those aren't "s2k spec" wheels. SSR s2k friendly will easy allow a 225 front, 255 tire with no issues. Ssr offered 4 sizes that would fit and be classified as "s2k spec" 17x8+48, 17x8.5+58, 17x9+55 & 17x9.5+65. Your's are sticking out past the body and have stretched tires, which is why they are not "s2k spec" unless you are running spacers. They look like 17x9+45

Roll your fenders before the wheel/tyre buckles them from hitting.

What suspension is currently on there is helpful info.

Wheel offset looks wrong for a "no rubbing" fitment without mangling fenders, especially if you put proper sized 245+ width tires on. Cranking in camber and rolling fenders will help some.
