I think mine are et35, I can't remember...

Mine scrubbed on the outer arch, but at least you can get that rolled.

What size tyres are you running?

im not sure what offset my wheels are, but i run 10mm spacers on the back to stop them scrubbing on the spring, they only catch the outer arch on big bumps or smaller bumps with people in the back.

i think your best bet would be some 45 profile tyres, that small difference might make all the difference, especially with the toyos as the have a more rounder edge than the kumho's i run.

its not just the offsets that cause scrubbing.

as people said in your other thread about scrubbing, its probably the profile of your tyres that are causing it.try getting some lower profile tyres. if that doesn't help, other options are spacers(try the thinnest first!) or smaller alloys.
