Thank for the info Emilio! Thats some golden info.
I do have 900/500 but 15x10s with 245 rc1. So combined with the aero it makes things a bit more complicated although its not doing much through the corkscrew. The rear was actually the main culprit in terms of rubbing. Although I could hear the front rubbing as well.
You say to use ELBJ. Is this because it gives more camber to tuck the tire in?
Here is my setup. 900/500 xidas. 12 clicks from full soft on front 10 clicks rear. 4.5" pinch weld height square. 1.125 x.188 wall front, stock rear bar. 15x10 6ul with 245 RC1.
I still need to align the car. So once I do that it should give me enough camber to tuck in the tires. Also, 4.7" ride height sounds like a good idea as well.

Are you having trouble getting enough camber?
Upper control arm offset bushings move the tire inward and you lose tire to shock clearance. Check out 949s alignment page. They mention it.
ELBJ will mess with your available caster range.
Offset lower control arm bushings are another good option.

Different solutions. Similar results. Offset lowers are cheaper. And to not mess with your caster like elbj do. But offset lowers are also more difficult to install (imo)

The KMiata guys needed a pretty big pull to clear 15x10 6ULs with 245/40 RC1.
Not as big as i did with these stupid Longerdongers, but still a pretty big one. To the point that they had spaced out their front fenders for clearance. Wondering why the inconsistencies across cars. Onetwo and Padlock didn't appear to need so much work to fit their setups.

My Koyo radiator sits a little farther forward than his, which leaves less room. Also, there are sharp edges in that area, so you will need to protect the hoses with a piece of radiator hose or similar. There are only smooth things where I routed my hoses, so I just put 3 wraps of Xtreme tape around the hoses in places where contact occurred. Food for thought.

Edit: I sleeve all my lines this way, any time there is any question of movement against something else. And generous use of zipties to minimize said movement.
