Unhappy 17x9 +30 torque R Fitment

Sooo, I ingeniously just got some rota torque R's 17x9 +30 for my 04 wrx. wrapped in 255/40/17 azenis. They stick out about... maybe an inch... maybe a little less. Left side rubs when i go over deep dishes in road/bumps in road/speed (needs alignment after camber is fixed)

Looking for help on fitment.

Current setup:
-Pink Struts (40% stiffer than STI struts)
-Cobb Springs (F2"/R1.5")
-OEM tophats



Before[left set] After[right set]


_I'm getting Camber bolts in the mail Monday that have a max neg camber of -1.75. going to see how tucked i can get it. (aiming for F-1.75 & R-1.5) something around there. Or should there be more Neg camber in the Rear?

_Planning on Rolling all four corners too. I might try some pulling in the back, but the previous owner failed to mention the rear right fender damage that was repaired with Bondo at a crap @$$ shop, so i'll probably get cracking/chipping... but oh well!!

_Lastly i am going to try and downsize to 245/40/17s. It should help with tucking more.

Any Tips??? (besides getting ride of them )

Thanks in advance

Sounds like a lot of work though haha.

Whats the smallest width tire you can run on a 9?

the Smallest would be 235's, haha, but it would be really stretched. 245's would be a slight stretch which gives it a little rolled edge look to it (kinda like Drifters xD) 255's fit nice and square :]
