Agreed on the tires and wheels... Negative offset can help, but didn't cure mine. I went to -1.25 and still rubbed (-.9 is the recommended max)... Trimming the fender liner will do it, but be ready for road debris covering the back of your headlights. If you do trim them, it's mostly the bulge in the liner at the seam where the fender meets the bumper cover.

You can avoid that gap after trimming by heating up the liner with a heat gun and pushing the bulge in the liner back so that it kind of "curves" with the curvature of the fender. Theres only a slight gap and keeps out most of the road debris from getting in. Just don't trim too much of the fender liner.

I have the same problem, but ended up dealing with it since I really didn't have the time to take it to get aligned.

The springs come with a sheet on what the camber should be and such. I'm using 205/40/17 and I too have this problem with the +40. Once spring comes, I'm adjusting them to spec.

From my personal experience I was told not to cut them by the tech that did the install, he said the TRD setup is designed to work without cutting. I did not ask him about using stock shocks with the TRD springs, which others here said they need to be cut.

So you're saying that I should buy new bump stops? Mine were cut originally because I had the Tanabe DF210 springs. I'll double check what the tech's say at my sponsor dealership.
