Default Oversized or wheel well rubbers unite!

Sooo i have had two Sc's on both i have had oversized wheels that look so beautiful but always seem to rub up on my rear wheel wells and it eats up the tire a noticeable amount. On my first car not so much, but on my new car it seems to rub at almost every chance and god forbid i load up with 3 other people. I am going to replace my shocks but im sure its because the rears poke out of the well a good amount. Does anyone else have any rubbing issues?

Roll your fenders, get some coilovers, add some camber. Done. That amount of poke isnt bad at all, I used to run a 295/40 on a 17x10.5" rim 20et and I cracked my rear fenders at the apex of the wheel well and added a new line to the tread pattern.

Yeah start by removing that plastic lining in the fender well with a phillips screwdriver, that cured most of my rubbing right away, after that you will want to cut the rear fender lip down to about 1/4 to 3/8 inches and roll it gently as much as you feel you need (so it doesn't dimple)

i am running 245/45r19 in the back, super oversized :P tried to do that in the front too but it's just not possible to turn without destroying the windshield washer tank and side skirt, so right now i got 225/40r19 in the front. i need coilovers badly to fix the lean haha
