I've been having wheel fitment issues. I've figured out my caster is to far forward and the tires hit the fender well. I've looked around on forums but I can't find a thread the specifically talks about how to adjust caster. Looking for help please and thank you

Castor adjustment, at least on stock control arms, comes via the lower rear eccentric.

I have a stock FD besides hks coilovers. How would I adjust the lower eccentric? I'm new to this stuff

Its the rearward bolt on the front lower control arm.

what sizes wheels and tires do you have?

I'm currently running 18x8.5 +30 offset
The tire is 215/35Z R18 84Y that's what the tire is a special I had made to fit while I tried to figure out this issue.

But I will be running these 235/40 R18 91W
But I'm sure they will rub.

When the wheel is on the car it's very noticeable that the wheels sits farther forward instead of center.

I feel if I adjust the caster back it will fix the issue. I just don't understand how those bolts work

The adjustments are for VERY small adjustments. If it's substantially forward in the wheel well something is wrong - either something is put together wrong or there is bent suspension components.

Not sure what stock castor setting is off the top of my head, but you'd probably find the adjuster is near maximum as standard. You'd be hard pressed to tell the wheel is noticeably changed in position, in either max or min adjustment unless there was damage.

Stock 17 rears, 8.5" + 50 with 255s can run on the front, but are pretty tight on a standard car, the offset you have there wouldn't help, but no experience with that set-up. Might check to see the rack is centralised and clears one side, but touching the other, as another suggestion.
