Default scrubbing tyres

hey guys,

I fitted Bridgestone RE002's a while ago for a track day, the size is 235/45/18 (upsized from 225/40/18) and my wheels are 18x8.5 +45. my car isn't the whole "hellaflush" thing or running ridiculously low (about finger-tip gap between arch and tyres). my coilovers are running pretty stiff and i'm getting scrubbing on the outside tyre wall and it's also hitting the wheel arch inside. my guards were rolled when i bought the wheels. i'm sure i'm not the only one running this size and my car is definitely not as low as other cars running the same profile and/or bigger.
just wondering if anyone has any ideas as to why my tires are scrubbing (apart from the obvious, "raise the car").

cheers
