Fender Rubbing
My bad guys i totally forgot to mention they are on downforce fronts right now
i think the rubbing is only happening when i go in and out of drive ways cause the tires seem very clean and doesn't seem to be rubbing when I'm cornering or just driving. I don't hear any rubbing either.

Ah important piece of info there. Yeah it looks like you are rubbing when the wheel is turned. Not good and you are making me worry about what will happen when I get my downforce fenders done. There really isn't many options here. What suspension are you on? You could raise it a little bit or go with a stiffer spring. That may help. A little more camber may also help but won't really do much as it is happening when the wheel is turned.
Yeah isn't rubbing when turning almost impossible to avoid without raising/stiffening suspension?
I mean, I rubbed on stock wheels/tires while turning.. I was lowered about a finger gap. The suspension was very rarely under enough load to come close to the fender while turning during normal or even spirited drives. The only time I had an issue was in driveways.

Yea it seems its only during full locks and steep drive ways that it rubs. I didnt expect it to rub since i bought the wheels off another member who ran the exact setup. Im on tein monoflexes and the springs are 11k/10k so i dont think i wanna go stiffer than that for a street car. Im thinking of adding an upper ball joint and dial in a little bit more camber and see how things go. I really dont want to raise the car since this height doesnt cause any scraping and the car sits perfectly right now haha. Another option i thought of doing is to roll the fenders slightly, but im not sure if that will work since the fender seems to be fibreglass and not metal.

You just have to alter how you enter/exit off camber driveways. You can’t just crank the car over with the wheels at full lock and inter a driveway like a normal stock DD. Always turn before the driveway and then straiten wheels out and go over with car at an angle. I’ve been driving this car this way for years and don’t even think about it anymore, just do it. You will get to know what kind of steering lock you can/cant get away with eventually and hope you don’t cause too much damage during the process.
