Please Help Me Figure Out a Good Setup - CCW Classics

Hello, I am about to order new tires, and want to make sure of I have a camber issue, and not a bad tire combo......I have the below setup:

KW V1

CCW Classics
Front: 18x8.5 et38
Rear: 18x10 et50

Bridgestone Potenza RE-01R
Front: 225/40/R18
Rear: 255/35/R18

I did NOT get a camber adjustment (just installed the KW's and went on my way) which may have attributed to the problem.

This happened, looks like it hit the coilover itself, but I could be wrong:





Here is a shot to try and show that I dont think I was even that LOW....I wanted to go lower in front...if I cant that SUCKS!!!



A good ass shot for fun:




So.......

I plan to get a good alignment, adjust camber etc and hopefully got a TAD lower in the front.

Is this solely a camber issue?

What tire combo is best?

Do I get the same:
Front: 225/40/R18

OR:

215/40/18 (fit front wheel??)

OR:

225/35/18

OR

215/35/18 (fit front wheel??)

Thanks,

JB
