Need some advice

Ok so heres the deal. I want to go a lot lower then I am. I have seen a lot of subies around rockin crazy offsets and all stanced out. For some reason I cant seem to achieve what I want with what I have right now. I am rubbing pretty bad on the upper inside wheel wells in the front. I already had to move some wiring harnesses up higher in the fender because I was rubbing through them. So I guess I am asking what I should do so I can go lower and not rub as bad or not rub at all. Should I go down a tire size to like 235's? Should I just get new wheels that will fit better? I am already rolled a little bit front and rear and I am currently at -2 up front and -2.6 in the rear. Also my buddie is selling his Works and I was thinking about buying them but they are not as aggressive as I would like.. 18x8.5 +32. Would those fit better?
Sorry for the long post I just want to figure this out. Thank you in advance. Pics below..

And I know my car is crazy dirty in the pics! I had been up in the high desert all week and it rained non stop.

smaller tires will help.. 225/40 maybe?

Well it looks like tomorrow I will be putting on Work SV XX 18x8.5 +32 with 215/40/18. The wheels have 225/40/18 tires on them right now and I will rock these for about a week or so until I get my new tires. I also am waiting on some 20ml spacers to come in. I am also suppose to get my fenders worked on some more tomorrow.

I am still debating it all though and am not 100% sure if that's what i should do. I am getting an amazing deal on the wheels so its hard to pass up but I can pull out of the deal if I change my mind.

So can someone please chime in here..... Should I go with the 18x8.5 +32 with 20ml spacers and 215/40/18.....or should i stick with my 17x9.5 +35 and just drop down a tire size or two like to 235/40/17 or 225/40/17?? I just want some of your guys advice because I know most of you have experience with all of this. Thanx again.
