New 18x8's rubbing on front fender
Okay, I have 18x8 wheels with a 235/40/18 up front and I am running tokicko ill 2 5 way adjustables and PFS comfort springs...the problem is that the front is sitting lower than the rear, and there is pretty much no gap between the tire and the fender edge..and it barely bent the fender edge out...
The front is sitting too low...how do I raise it up efficiently?

Offset is 35mm on the front and 45mm on the rear. I want to make sure I am on the same page as you guys in regards to solving the issue. I am talking about the outter fender lip which was bent out after a few turns (only slow speed turns BTW) because the car is sitting too low in the front...you are saying that rolling the fenders will take care of this? I don't have to raise the height?

Update
Okay, I have the car parked on level ground and there is about 1/2 to 3/4" of space between the outside fender lip and the tire when I turn the wheel both ways at a stand still...the issue I noticed is when the front of the car is pointed downhill...it squats it lower in the front...so...what about setting my tokicko ill 2's 5 ways to the stiffest setting (5) in hopes that it will prevent the car from dipping? I am set on level 3 at all four corners...
