with out knowing the damage here it's hard for me to say, I'm guessing here.

Sounds like you are rubbing on the inner fenderwell plastic?

1. Dial in more negative camber, tire wear will go up but you may rub less.

2. you could go to a lower offset rim +45, or +48mm, basically tuck the tire more. +55mm was likely OEM?

3. Raise the car up a bit, are you on drop springs or coilover, the 6th gen Front fender is not the most drop friendly fender.

I think 2 or 3 or both 2/3 are my best guess at fixing the issue.

I have no damage, +42mm rims, 225/40/18s and a Prokit 1.5" drop. If I take a corner very hard and fast with a dip, my tires will rub a bit on that inner fender well plastic. Solution for me, I crank up the damper on the Koni's for more aggressive driving, or avoid heavy dipped turns
