Default 2001 Trans Am w/ Zo6 rims rubbing help!!!

I have 18x9.5 rims with toyo 285/35's in the back. I am rubbing really bad when I enter and exit the highway. I was wondering what size wheels everyone is running on their Trans Am. What do you think is the problem>?

You might try an adj. PHR. to give you a little lateral clearance. Find out where they're rubbing first.

i had oem zo6 rims on my 99 trans am with 295/18's and a 10mm spacer and they never rubbed. If its the factory z06 rims then they rub in the back against the bump stop almost and you need a small spacer to push them away from it. But if you go more than 10mm youll have to roll your fender. Thats what was happening in my case it may be the same for you plus the stance you get with the spacers is awesome. Got any pics?

I have pics, but I have to host them somehow. I have a panhard bar on there, but its not adjustable do you think this could be the problem

Is your car lowered????

I only ask.... becasue I am running same size tires on C6 18*9.5. I don't have any rubbing issues.

If your car isn't lowered.... I would think your offset on your Z06 rims are differant than mine.
