Default tires rubbing

ever since i put the new rims and tires, on the rear the tires are rubbing against the body. there only 295/35/18 and know people the are running 305/30/18 and they have no problem. should i get an adjustable panhard bar instead of the nonadjustable that i have right now?

an adj panhard bar will not solve this problem if both sides are rubing.

i would check for proper rims specs and make sure the rims have the proper backspacing

Search for BFH mod. "Big ****** Hammer!!!" You basically need to pull your wheel off check to see where it is rubbing and beat the inside of the fender wall in. Your gonna have to take it in a little bit. Once your done get the under body rubberized spray from an auto store and fix the areas that chipped off. It is easy!! I had to do it a couple times before I got my 315's to fit. Try the wheels section too!
