rub sound. anyone else with this set up rub. I think the off set is 30. would rolling my fenders eliminate this problem?

Hmm? You like the squshy 16s? I'll take the 18s anyday.
What suspension and tires do you have? I'm running Bilstein/Eibach combo with upgraded sways and Fusion tires and it's comfy enough for the street while still having plenty of bite for aggressive driving and proper stance.

I used to rub a lot with 225/45-17.
But I rolled an aluminum bat wrapped in duct tape in the fender/tire gap. It pinched in the inside lip of the fender from a 90° angle to roughly a 45° angle. It was all I needed. Now its just the occasional "did I just rub?"
