lol your tires aren't too wide.. i was running 265/35 on my 18x10.5+15 all around no rear rubbing issues. you will need a butt load of camber though. CLOSE to -6, but not quite that much. BUT downsizing tire will make your life a lot easier 
but you don't have to if you don't want to :D cause it'll work

Does anybody know what structural integrity the metal flange behind the fender liner has?(right behind the liner where the wheel is rubbing in the pictures.)
I'm running 245 45 18s on a +25 offset rim and I'm shredding my tire, Stock suspension for 30 more days then it's getting some coilovers.
Stopped driving it until I find a solution, perhaps bending it nearly flat or taking a grinder to it?
Not my tires/wheels or RX8 in these pictures, just the same issue I am having.

by far i consider fontana ca to have some of the worst roads in cali. it is the semi truck capital of the nation so the streets have a shitload of random sink holes.

The stock control arms are adjustable. If those are maxed out too that means you're not low enough. I doubt they are though. I suggest investing in megan racing adjustable rear control arms. Thats what I bought when I realized my tires were too wide.
and what coilovers are you on?

Lol. The gap between the tire and fender is about half inch. Im gonna lower the front a little more. Then run spacers and have a alignment done. And that should keep me happy. Then front bumper and side skirts hopefully that should give it a lower effect. Then new wheels and hopefully powertrix make more coilovers to sell in the rx8 market.
