Any issues with fender or fender liner rubbing or tire contact on 17x9 +60s in STR trim, ie stiff spring/bar, low ride height, good negative camber, fender lip rolled?

Personally I think it would help you, all my wheels are +63 and I hit on the inner fender as opposed to the outer fender when I try to go too low, but I don't really know since I wasn't really trying too hard to go low and thus I'm not part of the ridiculously low ride height club (I'm at a little over 13")

I'm at 12.75" on Enkei PF-01 (ET 60) and 17x9. No normal rubbing -- only on highway bumps, and it is quite minor. I was at 12.5" and decided to raise it up a little since at 12.5" there was rubbing if I went over speed bumps too fast locally, and enough rubbing on highway bumps that I was going to abrade away the plastic clips in the top of the splash shield/ fender liner. I like 12.75 because it looks quite low, but is perfectly acceptable to me with minimal to no rubbing issues.
850F/750R springs Moton Clubsports Compression set somewhere at about 2/3 stiff. Camber 2.8F/2.6 rear
Pics at 12.75"

Rubbin's racing. Seriously, I figure it will all self clearance at some point. You're allowed to have wear holes in your fender liners so why not? Maybe I would sing a different tune if I had a really nice/new CR.
Also, the dude said he was at -2.8 front and -2.6 rear.

Noel, I love your car...so hot. Did you do any fender rolling/mods to fit those when you were at 12.5" and 12.75"? Do you run any rake or same height f/r? Was the rub at 12.5" only at the front?
Are there any other clearance issues on the inside too with these 17x9 +60 setups? Does it matter if you have large body shocks, 2.5" springs, 1.25" gendron sway bar, etc? Any wheel spacer required?

I've heard of people completely mangling their rubbing fenders when hitting a bump and the tire catches it the right way. Is this a big concern or safety issue?
