Stretch those tires and don't go too aggressive on the offsets.

yeah, stretched tires and rolled fenders will all help. u could also make sure the springs u are getting are stiff enough. have seen some slammed e36 m3 dinans where i could not even stick my whole finger between the fender and the tires, yet, the liners inside the fender still perfectly untouched. u'll probably get a pretty stiff ride, but that's what u get for slamm'n it.

When I had 18x8.5 31 offset in front and the tire size was 215-40-18 and they rub like crazy.. The front tires and low offset rims stick out a little and they touch the fender bracket.. When I recently used 19x8.5 39 offset in front and the tire was 215-35-19 and it dont rub cuz the front rim insert in more.. I looked underneat the fender and see if the tire touch the bracket near headlight.. There are more room clearnace between the fender bracket and headlight area.. I found out the answer is right size tire and high offset in front will be ok.. I prefer get high offset front and low offset rear.. That is just me..
Dont want to RUB?

Keep your tires SMALL and your Offsets High (40+)....

Cant get any more simple
