I just put the same setup with my new EC-7's, using the 235/40 front, and I am getting some rubbing on the outer shoulder of the tire, just down from the tread where it rubs on the fender.
It's only on the right side, and typically when the suspension is already compressed (in a left turn) and I hit a bump.

I am pretty sure my right strut is toast though, so when I put new struts on next week, I am hopeful it will alleviate this problem.

Next set of tires I will probably go with the 245/35 option (with spacers and Dinan camber plates).

I'll report back on whether the new struts (Koni yellows instead of shot OEMs) fix the issue.

FWIW, I have no additional negative camber beyond factory spec at the moment. Planning Camber plates and M3 front control arms in the future.
