no problems when you put a lip kit on.

Check on TN http://www.toyotanation.com/forum/ or maybe someone here from Canada can link you to a good shop that could roll your fenders...

No problem with the hijacking... we've all done it one time or another! ;)

Not sure if spacers will help because that might get them away from the suspension components but push them farther out into your fenders! :o

Can you take off a wheel and look to see where it's rubbing inside?

I have 18x8.5 and running 225/40/18. If I hit a dip in the road and a nice speed, I will rub in the rear, not bad but enought that I do not like it. Go get you fenders rolled, or flared out a bit. Thats what I have planned for my Lara.

bad camber can also cause the issue.

^^ What Turbosolara means by "Bad" camber, is that you might want to get a camber kit (odd-shaped bolts for camber adjustment) to force negative camber on your rear wheels so they'll angle-in more and not rub as bad. It doesn't infer that anything is "wrong" with your ride. ;)

with 30 offset, you should have no problem with clearing the strut, unless the tires are wider than 235/35/19. What section width and profile of your tires are should be written on the tire itself. You should have a problem with the rear fenders, not sure about the front. For 8" wide rim, the correct offset is +35 to +40.

If you do use a baseball bat, make sure to heat it up with a heatgun first or you will crack the paint, and give it a prime place to rust over the next few years.
