Darn! They won't fit!!!
Freakin' eh, this puppies don't freakin' fit..... 18x10 +21offset with 265/35/18 tire.
Fenders rolled but I think due to a recent alignment back to spec, there isn't enough camber.
Let me know what you think I can do.

looks like the tire you chose has a square sidewall and they are slightly larger than other 265s. what brand are they?
I would suggest lower it more if you on coilovers and there will be more negative camber. I'm running 19x10 +30 with 275/30/19 and its perfect ... a little sunk even. Never rubs with rolled fenders. Just had an alignement about .5 deg more neg than stock.
Lower more (will create more neg camber)
245 tire
roll fenders
small pull is last resort
I see DDC lip what kinda wheels

245's will look like dung on a 10" wide wheel. I have 275's on my 9.5 wheels and 245 on my 8.5 wheels and they fit flush. If I were you, I would find a way to widebody that back or use some flares (molded and painted of course). No amount of pulling will fix that.
If that won't work, time to get something else (wheel-wise)

I'd say just get some new wheels and order what ever offset, width, size you want. That would be easier than trying to build a car around the wheel (fender flares, wide body kit, ect........)
If you don't want to buy new wheels, than go back to the shop and let them factor in some negative camber and use a 255/35/18 tire. These two things along with some fender rolling should do the trick.

Time for some new wheels (I was trying to be positive....but when you think about it, you will spend more trying to mod the car than to just get the right stuff)

One possibility may be to machine off the back side of the wheel; you would only do this if the wheel had been made with a built in spacer to acheive the positive offset. You would never want to do that in a way which would weaken the wheel.

Whenever you start removing material from the wheel, you are compromising its structural rigidity. On this note, I am going to take this to the Rack forum....its more of a wheel issue than a suspension one. Good luck and keep us posted.
