What to do if I am Rubbing?

Ok, first i should say that i have 215/45/17 tires with motegi mr3 rims with a 40 mm offset i believe. I also dropped my car with the Neuspeed Sport Springs. I had no problems with rubbing until a few days ago when i finally put my ignalls rear camber kit on. I was told by members that with the setup i have, i will not rub. I do not get how i am rubbing. Could anyone provide any info about what they did to make the tires stop rubbing such as doing work on the fender or whatever. Ive searched and could not find anything so any help would be appreciated. thanks

exactly what he said. If you plan on rolling your fenders make sure you have some kind of touch up paint on hand.

I had the same problem on my 215/45/17 and Tein SS suspension. Heres what I ended up doing, went out the next day and 205/40/17 tires and then went to a body shop and had them cut a little out of my fender and roll it slightly, then I adjusted my back end a little lower and now have a little less than a 2 finger gap all the way around.


Rubbing sucked ***...It was because of my offset and camber kit also. I didnt want negative camber and couldnt go buy new rims so thats what I did.

...or just laser cut your fenders for like $50-$70 at mod shop (lots of custom truck auto shops do this) as it is a lot cleaner and doesn't stress the metal like folding could do and no need for touch up paint.
