Where are they rubbing? Inside? Outside?

Bfh could fix it, roll the fenders, different wheels with
better offsets etc etc

Sounds like you need to do the BFH mod.

Questions:

1) What rims are you running? (width and backspacing)

2) What tires are you running?

3) Do you have adjustable PHB and LCAs?

Yea you also might want to grind down the rubber peice that kinda sits inside the wheel, because if you hit a big bump it could def ruin your tire. I had to grind that down to get my tires on

I think you'll be fine with just doing the BFH mod. Take the wheels off, and you should be able to see where its rubbing... I've only rolled my fenders, and an adj PHB. I didnt do the BFH mod on my car, every car is different. But if your tires are not getting scraped by the fender, then you don't need to roll your fenders. Also, if your car isn't lowered, you probably won't have to get an adj PHB.

Yea, that's the part that almost everybody has to beat in. I used a torch to heat mine up some to make it go easier. But just a BFH should do the trick. The bump stop could be giving you trouble, just watch it when you lift/lower the car to see if you have to grind it off. You might not have to with 17" wheels, but I think I did when I had the 15x10's on.
