Tein Owners - Please read

Has anyone else run into alignment problems when their car is lowered to the max on Teins....I probably have a 1 finger gap on my car with the current settings (on 17" rim with 205/40/17 rubbers). The shop is telling me I need to raise it up some or it might rub on the fender...anyone else run into this?

I was suprised to hear this since I have 17s...

yes, that is a concern. If you camber is adjusted to -.1 or -.2 (which is should be, then you might rub over bumps. There is a chance and think that is what he is warning you about. If you keep the camber more negative then you should have no problem with it rubbing your fenderwall, but your tires will wear unevenly.
