Need help on rubbing issue w/ pics
Hey guys,
I just had some 19" rims installed. I really like how they look. However, I am having the rubbing problem with the aggressive setup for the front to clear the brakes. The offset for the front is 30. The rims are 19x8.5 for the front. It is a little stick out of the fender. They rub the fender liner violently when the car hits every little bumps on the road Very slight rubbing when turn at full lock. The front tire specs are 235/35/19. Do you guys have any opinions on how to reduce the rubbing. Can I run skinnier tires like 215? or maybe the suspension is a little too soft, need to stiffen it up? The car is lowered on H&R springs. I know raising the car back to stock height will eliminate the rubbing issues but that is the last option. Any inputs are appreciated.

That is what I am thinking. Hopefully, 225 will eliminate some rubbings. Man, I am worrying those bolts from the fender liners will cut through the tires soon. I am going to get new set of front tires tomorrow.
