Fenders are flat and the wheel is all the way torqued on. Only 3 lugs because it was just a test fit, I wasn't going to drive on it. Toe is stock alignment specs and the wheel specs are correct.

Tomorrow I'm going to try pushing the quarter panel/bumper meeting point out a bit and cut more of the bumper off

Shave the lip on the rear bumper down to where the screws are. I had to do that with my 17x9 +30's. A little rubbing is normal with that meaty of a tire. You'll just have to deal with it, or push the camber a little more. Also, take a heat gun or a hair dryer and heat up the corner of the bumper where it meets the wheel well and pull it out a bit to match the fender. It makes a world of difference.

Don't do anything too drastic on those fenders to where you create some permanent visual damage, you are already doing that with those hideous 3 spoke wheels, but those you can replace at least.

I have a 10" +38 in the rear with a 255/40 and don't have the problems you do. I shaved the bumper down until my rubbing was gone. You may also need to raise the car slightly.

I run 9.5 with a +38 and 255/40/17 tire in the rear. Relocated tab, rolled, trimmed bumper, unsure of camber but its probably around 3 degrees. Lowered with no finger gap. No rubbing.

I think the difference here is the extra wheel width gave you guys a little more tire stretch. I would run a 245 rear and if you have to, raise up the car 1/4" or so.

I actually like the wheel. It's nice to see something different and even though it took some work to get them to fit its not just another common set of wheels.
