Default Genpu on 255/40R18

I figured this might be an alright place to share, though I don't know how active the forum is after being around this long. I asked around for what was probably a rather short period of time and did some research of my own to try and find a good size tire to put on my genpu with the rims I had decided to purchase. Considering I am rather stubborn, I decided to go with a size that was nearly guaranteed to rub, but was not specified how badly or where it would rub. Currently I am running 255/40R18 Yokohama Advan Sport A/S on XXR 553 Labyrinth 18x8.75 +36 offset resulting in a slight poke stance (if I entered the correct information into the calculator this resulted in 5mm closer to the struts and 1/2" poke) on stock suspension. So stock that I cut the tires in the rear on the quarter panels before getting the rear rolled. Keep in mind that when I put this combination on my car it was on stock suspension that is clearly worn out, and I had just gotten into an accident that required some work to the driver side and replacement of at least my passenger front control arm. My front tires rub ONLY on the fender liners and generally only when I hit a harsh bump, the rears (if my shocks were not worn out) I believe would only rub the fender lines a little if at all, but I would highly recommend rolling the rear quarter panels to avoid cutting into the tires. On the note of rolling fenders, the rear quarter panels (something I wish I had thought of sooner) will as with most fenders due to their design have a section at the edge on the body line that gets pushed out causing a rather undesirable appearance, I believe this can be avoided if some light cutting were to be done at those edges before rolling and then tweaked with body hammers after keep the body lines clean and intact. I have not attempted any afterword corrections so I do not know if it is possible to correct the pull after the rolling as been done. Once I replace the suspension and in time replace the tires I will follow up to show whether or not I still have any issues, as I have ordered a set of Koni Yellows from Ground Control with their coils sleeves and camber plates, running 550lb front springs and 600 lb rears. This alone I am sure will sway the results unjustly, but I already have my quarters rolled and didnt want to waste money on stock suspension when I was wanting camber adjustment in the front.
