HELP Rear tires rub when going around turns
just got my wheels and tires on the car, tires rub a tiny bit going around turns on the inner fender i running 295 35 18 in the rear with +58mm offset wheels
and a eibach pro kit on the car, i was wondreing if they make spacers or isolaters for the rear springs to bring them up a 1/4 inch or so or if i get some kyb agx shocks in the rear instead of the stock decarbons let me know if you have any ideads

MY 315/35/17s with 17x11s were rubbin in the inner fender doing hard conering. I didnt want to add spacers because i like the look of the tires being tucked in. I used a mini seldge hammer and banged it in and recoated it. And also grinded down my bump stop bracket a little.

The Prokit rears are a bit soft and a bit too low for most people. I would recommend getting some of these.

Install 2 of these in each rear spring and call me in the morning. Woah, had a Bugs Bunny doctor flashback.
Seriously, just lift from the body to get the springs in full droop, install in the middle area 180* apart making sure they will not rub the body. Check the ride height. The weight of the car will keep them in place. Take it for a drive. If the lift is too much, take one out. They work great, just get the smaller sized ones that says for the front. Just ignore that as they work fine on the rear springs. If after all that, you still don't like them, take them out and you will be $5 poorer. No big deal.
Also, better shocks like Bilstein or Koni will help control the body motions better which should reduce the rubbing. They cost a lot more obviously.
