I just found something that will not fit, want to see your opinion on what i should do, new springs or smaller profile tires?
springs = sprint
Wheels = OEM G35 - 18x8
Offset = +30
Fenders = rolled - front and back
its rubbing on the bumper.

In this pic, I was running 18x8 +35 , Bf goodrich 225/45 ZR 18s with Sprint springs and had plenty of room (and no roll). It's either the tires or your springs/struts are sagging....

There is plastic you should trim on the inside of the fenders. I wouldn't expect you to need that though. Camber should be keeping you from rubbing, not causing it. Maybe someone else has an idea about what to do. I would expect you to have a problem with the tire rubbing the back fender liner in front, not the front piece. You shouldn't have to switch out springs or tires to make this fit.

The wheels are not centered in the wheelwell, that's why we're saying that it does not look right. That setup is a very common setup and it should not have any problems fitting even with the OEM sized tires.
Camber is not the issue here at all.
