265/40? how much front poke do you have currently?

Only on a couple corners on the tracks.
no spacers but with the meaty tires and +12 offset i have a good amount of poke. 275/40r18, so i am thinking if i dropped down to 30-35 sidewall it may help. i was running 265/35r19 on my front 9" Rays sport wheels no issues.

18x10 (+12 offset) on the rear i have 285/40/18 and it fits perfectly.

Yes, tires sticking out pass the body is what i meant by poke.

This looks good btw, thank you for the reply. Are you running stock camber?

just an update, I change my front tires from 275/40r18 (18x9.5 -12) to 265/40r18 and I think it has resolved the issue.

I took a drive to places I know I was hitting my fenders and couldn't hear anything, so i hope all is well

thanks!
