Thats crazy. I'm lower than you with the same size tires and I only rub if I hit large bumps, dips in the road.. 
However my fenders are rolled. Sometimes its the only solution. I'm surprised you haven't moved your rear bumper tab back as well because that usually rubs more than anything especially with 255's.

As far as rears go I have no issues. Shocks are 50% stiff. I'm surprised I would since cr has 255s...
I cut it in similar conditions though. But there was more uphil which loaded suspension quicker.
Anyway I either roll fenders or buy two 215s. There is no other way. Thanks for sanity check guys

This is EXACTLY what rolling the front fender lips in prevents. This is why I'd even roll the fronts at OEM Stock height, not the first time I've seen it happen and won't be the last either. Rolling the fender lip inside completely flat against the back of the fender and trimming the leading 2-3" of the fender liner at the top of the arch will 100% fix this problem.

most have taken a really hard left hander at speed 
I'd say stiffen up the front a bit.

ouch 
I'd roll your fenders as well.
It's odd though because I had ap2v2s with same tire specs and 15mm spacers all around with no issues.
My fenders were rolled but I was at lower ride height than you.

I have the same suspension setup on my S. I got 215/45 up front and 255/40 in the rear. I have it set to the lowest setting. And also on the stiffest dampening settings. No rubbing issues whatsoever.

I am pretty surprised you are having problems.
I am dropped on Espelirs/OEM shocks (just over an inch drop) with 225/45 F, 255/40 R and have had zero issues.

Me too - espelir/OEM shocks, about 1 finger width between the tire/fender, same tire and sizes as OP, 225/255 Hankook V12's and even on the biggest bumps i've never come close to rubbing. Forget my alignment, i think it was like the UK AP1 alignment, -2* rear camber and like 0 front?

^^ Im along with the Espelir and oem shock groupies 225/255 combo but I have 15 mm front spacers on my AP2V2s and only rub on big dips on highway at speed. (Have been like this for a few months and have nothing that bad. That pic is crazy
