Front wheel fitment 19x9.5 235 35 19

I'm currently running 19x9.5 wheels mounted on 235 35 tires I'm going to lower it some more but some of the tire is already tucked behind the fender when I turn the wheel out it barely clears and sometimes it rubs.I'm wondering if I lower it more would more camber let me clear it or am I effed?I'm currently running -2.5 on the fronts.

What are the offsets? I'm guessing low 20's or high 10's. You'll probably need to go down to a 225 if you want to go lower. Camber will give you a little bit more clearance, but -2.5 is already alot of camber up front.

That's what I thought but I'm not worried about the sidewall hitting my fender I'm worried about the actual tread hitting my fender when I turn the wheel.I thought lowering the 225 would just make the tire skinnier not shorter.
