Did you have to stretch the tires to keep from rubbing? the reason I ask is I have a set of +30 gramlights i want to use but they will not work without rubbing with a normal tire... and I am iffy about stretching tires

Not really.  Only the Dunlop looks stretched.  The other three Pirellis look fine.  What kind of tires do you have on the rims now?

right now they are wrapped in brand new 245/45-17 Fuzion ZRi's that I am going to have taken off and sell to buy a thinner tire

Hmm...yeah, that would be pushing it.  After we get the coupe aligned, I'm pretty sure that we will have to get the fenders rolled to prevent them from rubbing.  It's a tight squeeze right now but absolutely no rubbing.

a 225 45 should be stretched enough to keep me from rubbing before and after my fenders are rolled the 245s will fit after they are rolled but i see no point in them sitting around longer than needed

+1 on checking the alignment. That rear camber looks nasty. I lost a pair of rear tires because my rear camber got knocked out of alignment WITH a rear camber kit installed. I'd imagine you are in the -3.0 range there.
