I’m looking to purchase wheels and a little bit lost on which set up to go with. If i stay stock suspension, what size wheel, offset and tire size to fill up the fender gap as much as possible without rubbing?
That’s a good question. But unfortunately not really possible to eliminate wheel to fender gap without lowering the vehicle.

And if I lower with eibach springs what's the maximum set up I can run without rubbing, cutting and doing crazy camber adjustments?
I would say 18x9.5 +38 with 265/35/18 tires would do the trick. But keep in mind that different tire manufacturers can run wider than others. For example, a Yokohama tire will run pretty true to a 265 width tire whereas a Michelin tire may run a bit narrower. This isn’t always the case but just look out for that.

Thank you for the info. I was messing around with the wheel fitment calculator, in your opinion 19x9.5 et45 with 265/35R19 tires would rub on stock suspension? And what about 18x9.5 et40 with 275/35R18 tires. As far as tire wise, I would be running RE-71R. I would not want to lower the vehicle if I don’t have to. This car is going to be my daily. I like the stock setup the way it is. I have a Camaro that’s built for a track setup. Sorry for so many questions. Very much appreciate you replying and saving me all the headaches. Thank you in advance.

what difference do you guys think between 2 inches and 3 inches, I am on the fence between those 2.
