HELP.... Please, new to this stance/flush shit....

Hello all, I hope my fellow A'ziners are doing well... So on the bright side, I fulfilled a wish, I got SSR Vienna wheels... and yes, I've always wanted them, so I don't give a rat's ass, if they are played out, hated on, or a dime a dozen , I'm happy... Now my problems,

Specs are: Fronts 18x8 mounted with 215/35/18 tires, offset +37 (I think the seller said)
Rears 18x9.5 mounted with 235/40/18 tires, offset +42 (I think)

I'm lowered on Tein SS and I'm rubbing like crazy, turns, bumps, slight road humps, you get the point.... I have no camber kit, I'm not rolled, nor did I cut any bumper tabs? My dampening is set to "mid" not stiff...

What do I need to do? Should I change the fronts to 225/40/18? Cause driving around Toronto is pot hole glore.... As for the rears, roll and cut bumper tabs? Or do I need to pull my fenders? Should I change dampening all the way to the stiffest setting?

Thank you in advance for all the help on this situation...

I ask simply cause, I'm not sure, if I need to do all, or some of the things....

Im not lowered yet but from what I hear I would try cutting tabs off the bumper is a first place to start!then maybe rolling the fenders and camber kit

pretty simple fixes. roll rear fenders, cut bumper tabs. those offset are fine. not too aggressive.

thing is though, your rear tire is significantly larger in diameter than your front tire. i would keep the diameters similar and change the front to a 215/45 or at least a 225/40.

yeah, simple fix. TL/s have a big lip on the fenders that need to be rolled if you plan on going low.. just by guessing id say its almost a half inch lip of metal. bumper tab mod in the rear and a tiny bit of camber. but honestly if you do plan on going low and have money to buy tires id go 205 in the front and 215 in the rear 40 ratio on both.
