REmove all of the fender lining to get some more clearance. I shaved inside the fender tabs. Do a search and you will see. If push comes to shove, just give your car some more negative camber so that it will go in more. About 2.75 is great.

Car looks awesome, congrats.

About rubbing with fat 19's and spring/shock setup - I had this in front with L-Tuned springs/shocks when going over big bumps at speed. I flattened (HAMMERED) a metal 'tab' that comes down from the top of the wheel well and that helped some, but the problem went away when I went to coilovers.

How high the ride is isn't the whole issue because my ride on coilovers is a lot lower than on L-Tuned springs/shocks and I have no rubbing at all.
