Front Tires RUbbing Please Help Alright guys I just lowered my car with Eibcah Sportlines an put new Bilstein HD struts on it. I also put all new polyurethane bushings, tie-rod ends and ball joints when i did this. Now that I got it all back together my tires(275/40/17 with almost no tread) are really close to rubbing the outside/bumber when turned a little bit and they are rubbing/pushing on the black plastic inner fenderwell.I havent had it alligned yet. Would that help. I am a lil confused about this. maybe it's normal but i dont think so. what are my options on fixing this thanks alot for any help

My car is stock height and my front 275's rub already, just enough to keep the inner plastic wheel well shiny 
I'll be putting a pro-kit on before Spring so .. I'm curious how people deal with the larger front tires rubbing on a lowered car.

Not much you can do. I've got 315s up front, and I've worn holes in both the front and tops of my liners. I've got spacers (3/8") and it helps a bit. But, you'll need longer ARP studs to do that.

Well im running the DMS springs with Koni Yellows and my right front tire also rubs just a little . The right side of our car is lower then the left. Some say its this way on purpose to make the car level when the driver is in the car. Anyways the only way to make our cars completely level is to use Coil overs. If you dont want to use coil overs i would use something other then the springs your using now. Those springs are just for looks and will make your car handle like ****.
You should check out the DMS springs or the new strano springs. I think the DMS are a little lower but not as low as the sportline. And theres a bunch of us that use these springs with great success.
