18" rims rubbing, someone please help.
I just got my 18" rims installed and they are rubbing in the back. I have 215/35/18 tires and car is lowered about 2 inches with tein super street coilovers. I went as far as trying to bend the lip but didn't get to far before paint started cracking. I wound up raising it a bit in the back(finger gap) but still rubbibg. I know i have read posts here from people saying they have same tire size as mine with to rub. I find it hard to believe that no mods have been done to either rear fender lip or the allignment to get it to work. Can someone please tell me what they did. If it is the allignment that was tweaked or what?

do not roll your fenders if you have not done it before. go try on someone elses car -or- raise the car more -or- run more negative camber in the rear to clear the fender.
