The only time it rubs is in the front in a really sharp fast right hand corner... And it's not terrible. I plan to eventually pull that wheel to see where it's touching and give it the old hammer adjustment.

Naw man. Haven't you seen people give their rear wheel wells the hammer treatment to clear wider tires? It's pretty common. You can do the same with the front. Pull the wheel and look for the shiny spot.

Not to mention- rolling fenders.

You'll probably need 245/35s if you run 18s but yeah that should be fine. Most ppl with 17s run 245s and they do fine.
