Should I:

A. get 40 series tires (205? No cheap 215/40/17's I can find)
B. Lift the front up a bit
C. Just keep sledging the wheel wells (it doesn't seem to be doing anything anymore. I think it's sledged out.)
D. Adjust my tension rods? Should this be done by a professional alignment shop or should I just do it ghetto style like everything else.
E. Eat crap and die.

I have the same wheels on front and had the exact same issues.
I just spent an hour or two pounding the living shit of the inner fender wells. Get all the little tabs that are sticking out as well above and behind the wheels. After you're done pounding the fender well in, do it some more.

After that I just lightly spray painted over all the spots that I pounded in, and checked it a week later. If the paint rubbed off, you gotta pound that spot in some more.

BTW I'm running 225-45 which are kinda fat, but it will clear with proper alignment and fender banging. Try getting your caster set at 7 at a race alignment shop.
