looking to reduce body roll...
Well I recently installed the OEwheels ZR1 offset 17x9.5 and 17x11 with 315/35/17 on the rear. On hard cornering I can hear the tire rub but do not see it rubbing on the outside so im assuming its the inner fender area. Im looking to see what I can do IE swaybar, panhard bar etc to lessen the side load on the axle to eliminate or prevent as much body roll as im getting. My car is bone stock right now, and I may lower it and figure this will only make my issue worse. Or just use a BFH? Any help is appreciate, thanks...

I think because I want to rid body roll and it will limit chassis flex in that sense. The rims clear on the up and down stroke, its just the turning and proablly shot bushings in the rear.
Now I was looking around and was debating going all out and getting PHB, LCA's, Sway bars, SFC's, STB, Springs and shocks. Do I need to get adjustable panhard bar and control arms? I meen I can see the nescesity in drag racing and changing pinion angle and rear end alignment. But its centered right now as of my tapemeasure. Im looking to improve the overall handling of the car as its plenty of fast now and will be done with mods after intake, hot cam and tune is done.

Yes you need a adjustable PHB, but you don't need adjustable LCA's unless the rear end assembly is off center front-to-back, or you plan on running some large diameter drag racing tires.
I know UMI pre-sets there adjustable LCA to factory length, so you don't need to adjust them unless you need too. Myself I've never needed adjustable LCA's so I got a set of UMI non-adjustable LCA's with roto-joints on both ends.

SFC's tie the front subframe to the rear LCA chassis mounting point. Swaybars and springs can prevent body roll. Maybe the wider rear tires allow you to plant better around corners which has increased your roll rate which is why you notice it.
Either way.. BFH and PHB are probably your best bets so you allow your wheels clearance while you have a lot of body roll. Typically your tires rub on the outer or inner fender. Seems like most people have that type of clearance issues than upper fender clearance.
