Default offset tires

hi i just got , a ssr sp1 with 8 +49 front and 9.5 +55 rear with 225/40/18 f and 255/35/18 rear...
the thing is it rubs both front and rear im low 1 finger diagonal between tyres and front fender... the rear like no gap between tyres and fender,... i like it that way ...
but what should i do to make it not rubbing my fenders,... rolling fenders will be my last option...
will it help to change tyres to 245/35 rear and 215/40 front??? help me out, or one of the guys @ good year recomend me with 205 front and 235 rear????? kinda weird isnt it will it fit??? keep in mind that i want the car to be like no gap at all between tyres and fender front and back well maybe 1 finger gap allaround.... newbie here go easy...

You can run the 215/245 sizes, but I would see if you could dial in some more camber and that should help. If you roll your fenders, with the extra camber, you should be able to keep your current sizes.

With the sizes of the wheels the tires you have are the best size. I agree with the fender lip roll and negative camber being the best option.

Check your local forums to find out where to get the work done at. Yes you can get extra camber with factory adjustment, you just have go to a good place for an alignment.
