Default Fronts are rubbing seeking some expert advice on fix

Hey Guys,

First and foremost thanks in advance to those who will be chiming in offering your suggestion(s) and helpful advice.

Details:

Vehicle: 2002 IS300 Sportscross
Front fender mods: None
Rear fender mods: shaved
Fronts / Rears: 18x9 +35
Tires: Federal SS595 225-40-18
Suspension: Koni w/ Eibach springs about 1.5" drop all around

I'll do my best to make this short, specs and details above. Issue is I'm rubbing in the fronts with the new setup. Aesthetically, I love how things are looking and if possible, without any front fender mods (pulling, rolling and etc), can you guys suggest how I might salvage this setup and make it work minimizing additional spend, such as new wheels? I'm hoping maybe some negative camber and new tire (215-40-18) could be the fix, but let me know what you guys would suggest?

Thanks again guys for any advice that might help.

Rubbing issue resolved today. Downsized the tires from 225-40-18 to 215-40-18 and no more rubbing. Hopefully, this thread might help some in the future.
