Stock AP1 Shocks, Swift Spec-R, UK-ish Alignment, TE37 F: 17x7.5 +48, R: 17x9 +65, Dunlop Direzza Z1 Star Spec F: 235/45, R: 265/40
No rubbing that I've noticed. Will update after a track day.
Hope this helps. I was slightly concerned over the 265's but it seems fine.

As promised, I got the Swift Spec R's in. I mated them to a set of AP2 dampers with 30k miles on them. Since its winter here, I haven't and won't be taking the car for a drive until spring. I also put on the RPF1s as well to see if I like the look. In person, the car looks awesome. In pictures...not so much.
From an asthetic view, the car looks amazing. I think the car sits at a perfect height. Its not too low nor is it too high. The photos below are the before and after. I tried to get the best possible photos with accurate distance, angle, and shot overal. As you can tell..i failed miserably. Another car was in the garage so I had limited space after I finished up.
Took me a total of 1.5 hours to do all 4 corners with the majority of the time working on the rear driver side. That side is a pain in the ass!
Enjoy... (Keep in mind, it is winter here and we a good amount of snow on the ground so the photos are horrid).

Fenders are stock. Not rolled, rear tabs not relocated, etc. I was able to move the car from this garage to the other garage for storage with no rubbing.

I had Swift Spec R's on my old 03 AP1 with 17x9 +45 Rays 57Xtreme, and had to roll and tab relocate to get them to fit. They fit really well though and didnt rub at all after trimming the rear bumper tab and relocating it. I'll post pictures when I get home.

I have the Swift springs with stock shocks 17x9 RPF1s, 255/40/17 all around. You'll need an UK or more aggressive alignment. In the rear move the tab down, trim the side of the back bumper. Check out the RPF1 thread for examples.
