From rub marks on the fender liner I am convinced I need to cut another 1/2-1" off the fender liner for it to fully clear.

Raising it did help in terms of rubbing on the fenders, previously I was for sure rubbing on metal, and first time I went out to track with this setup before I had my height adjusted, I was rubbing fender, fender liner, and even dislodged the front bumper every time I come off the track.

basically what I learned is, more camber will help as long as you aren't touching the spring perches or the spring on the inside, so will height, but ultimately if you are lapping it, you will likely rub on the liner like I have.
Yea I know exactly the area you’re referring to. I had that same issue on my previous 3.0si when I ran a taller diameter tire (i.e. it was not a width issue). I wonder if 265/35 won’t be as bad since it’s a little shorter than a 245/40.
